Condolences

Joan, Bill were great friends with our Parents Josh & Louise Hershey for many years. Whenever we were all together we always share good times & lots of laughter. Josh & Bill worked together in the Sonoco Paper Mill in Downingtown and stayed friends up until death. Bill & Joan were my Son's Godparents. Blessings to all those who suffer from this great loss.

Sorry to hear of Joan's passing.  I always enjoyed sitting on the porch with her and Bill when they lived on Bridge St.  I know her Granddaughter Michele, and the rest of the family,  will miss her terribly as she always visited her.  RIP Joan.....
