Joan and I grew up together, she lived in Clavinia and I lived on Hackberry Road just down the street from her. I have fond memories of our times shared and will always treasure those days. Bless you Joan and thank you for being my friend. Thoughts and prayers to her family. Sarah Scott Buckland

Robin and family, and brothers John and Jay: I feel honored to have had Joan as a friend while growing up in Deerfield, Illinois. We had many fun times and adventures in high school, at church (St. Gregory's Episcopal), in Girl Scouts and on our softball team. I remember her great talent for playing the piano and also her ever present upbeat personality.
My prayers are with you as you grieve and celebrate her life. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 NKJV)
