Joann Brotan Obituary

Gregg and family, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mom/wife. In the short time soo many years ago that I knew you and your family, her smile always lit up the room. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Larry,
I just heard about your mom's passing; I'm deeply saddened. Please accept my sincerest condolences. Your mom was a wonderful woman; I always loved her. Her eyes lit up a room!!!
My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Gregg and Family ~ ~ I just recently heard of your mom's passing and I wanted to extend to you my deepest sympathy. Although I never knew her, I can tell by reading these guestbook entries that she must have been a special lady and a wonderful mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this hard time. ~ Lynn (Gordon) Kosinski ~

Mr. Brotan and family~
I was out of town when I heard that your wife & mom had passed. I am so sorry. I will always remember her sense of humor and kindness. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you.

There's a new star in Heaven...She's fishing & doing garage sales with Grandma & Grandpa, playing ball with Uncle Bob, Bobby & Freddie, and looking forward to the day we all get to be reunited. She'll be forever in our hearts!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the mornings
Hush; I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Anon

Love & Prayers,

The world has lost an awesome person with JoAnn's passing. I worked with JoAnn (and Ruth) at Noral in Harvey during the early 1970's. Just knowing and working with JoAnn enriched my life extensively. So sad for you her passing.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the entire Brotan family. I personally did not know Annie, but every time she stopped by my parents house to admire their flowers, she always asked about my sister Michelle, who was good friends with Larry. She was a special woman, and I'm sure your hearts will be empty for a long time. Many prayers and special wishes from The Bostrom Family (Midlothian, IL)
