    Janet and Mike, My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am going to miss talking to Joanie about some of her favorite loves, FAMILY, stamping, the Cubbies and Packers. She was always a sweet person to me and my family. I am so sorry.

    Janet I’m sorry for your loss.
    I was able to reconnect with Joanie while working for Mary M Downing.
    We spoke of old times, in the old neighborhood. I still live on that block. May our heavenly father help you find comfort in Joan’s eternal life. That’s what we are all staving for. Peace be with you.
    Just a little family history of mine.

    At one time I lived north of your house, then moved to 211 Anderson Court. Still a great place to live.

    Joan was one of the sweetest people I have had the privilege to be around. I saw her at her yearly doctor appointments and I actually just thought of her a few days ago as it’s been a while since I’ve seen her. I enjoyed talking Packers ans Cubs with her.
