Dear Tom and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Joan’s passing.  I worked with her at Luther Acres.  I always enjoyed hearing her vacation stories and viewing her wonderful pictures.  Joan was a loving family wife, mother, and grandmother, always so proud of everyone. Keep her wonderful memories close at heart, and she will always be with you.  I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Love and Prayers,
