I remember both Mrs. Pindell and Mr. Pindell from working at Willow Valley Lakes when I was an LPN. I loved both of their upbeat spirits and sense of humor. A day never went by that Joan missed visiting with Richard. I can only imagine your loss, but they are now together. I hope there is comfort in that for your family. I will always remember Joan fondly as I have always remembered Richard.
My thoughts are with your family.
