For Jana, Jerry, Byron and Michael: My deepest sympathy for your tremendous loss. May the Lord bless and keep you as you mourn the loss of Joan, wife, mother and friend. My favourite memories of her were when Jana and I were in our 20's and she was always trying to listen in to our "girl talk" conversations and give us advice about life, work and boys. She always had a story to tell us and was so hysterical and always trying to find us that next "great job". She was always looking her Sunday best and had that big smile going on. I know this is a big loss for you all, so my heart goes out to each and every one of you. May you find peace and happiness in the beautiful memories she has left behind for all of us. Sincerely, Shari
