Officially, Joan is Rodney's cousin but she treated me as family and even introduced me as such. She was so very proud of her family and I am sure they know that. She could light up a room with her love and happiness. She will be greatly missed by many.

Drew, Gigi and Sherrie-
My heartfelt sympathies are with you and all of the family. My memories of cousin Joan are shaped by Mom and Dad, as they favored the 'older cousins' with visits before Joe and I were born. Joan was loved by all and will be missed by all. I know how hard the loss of a mother is, all you can do is cherish the memories. Please accept our condolences as we will not be able to attend this weekend.
Love,
Ann (Lemheney) and Bob Meeks
