I was deeply saddened to hear of Joan's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting her a little over a year ago through Jeanie. Such a sweet person she was. I was happy to have had a hand in helping her move into her newer, smaller home not far from me and really close to Jeanie, which is what she wanted most. I remember her excitement when the new place got the landscape makeover. From blueprint to finished yard, she was excited the whole way through. Even something as simple as helping put a new patio umbrella together was exciting for her and I was glad to help. I will miss going over with Jeanie and visiting. It always brought a smile. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
