Dear Kelly, Brad, Sara and Scott.
I was so very blessed to have known Joan. She was the most caring, considerate and loving person I have ever known. I know that her life has touched me so very much. The few times that we had met were wonderful and she had a very fun loving personality too.
I hope that your family will find some comfort in knowing she loved you all very very much. And when we met or she would write she was extremely proud that you were her family.
And to you two grandchildren, Sara and Scott, she will always tell me what bright and great grandkids she has. And to you Kelly and Brad, I am glad that you did take her to Iowa so that she could be with you for the few remaining years she had.
May you all find some comfort and peace in knowing that her suffering is over even tho I know you will all miss her very much. How blessed you all were too in knowing you had a wonderful mother, mother-in-law and grandmother. All My Love, Sandy Milne, friend and Silver Stamper
