Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, Aunt Joan. I'm still missing you after all of these years....

Not a day goes by, Aunt Joan, that I don't smile at the tons of funny things that we used to do and the many happy times that we spent together once you moved to Stevens Point. I miss you so much and it is comforting to know that you are at peace and up in heaven with "Mom". I know you're watching down from up above ... especially watching over Uncle Jack. Lots of love, Your niece Joanie....
