    Lisa and Mike….Joan was such a beautiful, kindhearted lady… we will surely miss her, and her beautiful letters.. I will miss her coming to our front door because she “ missed us and the old neighborhood” … Her smile would light up the room . She will never be forgotten by the Clark family…. Keep your memories of Mom close and always remember how very much she loved you all.

You will miss her so because she was an amazing part of your lives. Rest in heaven Joan, with your savior. ❤️ our love to Mike and Lisa.

    To all Mrs. G’s Family,
    Your Mom was one of the kindest, most thoughtful people in the world. She never forgot a single birthday for each of my three children by sending a card with new crisp dollars inside for all of them! We enjoyed receiving her annual updates on all of you at Christmas. She really was full of love and had a heart of gold. May she Rest In Peace.
