Joan was one of the sweetest kindest loving people I have ever known. I remember that whenever I had a problem she was always there. Life has been hard to adjust to without Joan but I am so grateful that she is living pain and stress free. Joan was my mother in law but she treated me like I was the daughter she never got to have on this earth. Joan deserved so much more than what she ever had here. I am so truly blessed that I had Joan for the 14 years that I had her. She would drop everything she was doing to listen to everyone else's problems and help in anyway she could. Anyone who came in contact with her instantly loved her. Joan was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and friend. I still find myself thinking that I can't believe she is gone but God needed her and that gives ne peace. I miss her dearly and I find myself wishing I could just have one more conversation with her or to tell her thank you and I love you one more time but the one thing Joan taught me in my time with her was how to love unconditionally and to forgive others the sane way God forgives me. I truly appreciate all the nice words eveyone has shared but there was so much of her life that was left out. Words can't even come close to describing how much Joan did for everyone other than herself. I thank God that he loved me enough to give me Joan so that I had the chance to know what the love from a mother felt like. She was the best and I hold so many great memories in my mind and heart. She was one of the biggest blessings my husband ever had. Rest in peace Joan and until we meet again I love you with all my heart. God bless you all.

Occasionally in life we might encounter a stranger so noteworthy we wonder if perhaps we had the privilege of meeting an angel from heaven. I suspect some strangers who encountered Joan wondered if she wasn't one of those angels. The level of kindness, sweetness, and gentleness that flowed through Joan to others was immeasurable and obvious to most anyone she would encounter.
God chose Joan to adopt 3 sons to love and care for along with her biological son. From what I've seen, I doubt there has ever been a more giving, caring, sacrificial, or loving mother than Joan. There is no telling how many sacrifices she made, opportunities she declined, or personal purchases she denied herself to provide for her sons, not just when they were young, but throughout her life. She was the rock her family leaned on and came to when in need.
Her heart for God amply supplied her overflowing heart for people to mold her into the conscientious, loving nurse, nursing manager, and caregiver she was in her work career. There is no telling how many lives benefited from her servant hands during her life. As the years went by and her body failed her she would push through any pain and discomfort not allowing herself any concern over her own health issues, because her focus was always on the needs of family, patients, or clients.
Joan's serving and sacrificial heart may have actually approached that of Mother Teresa and the window who gave her last 2 mites whom Jesus praised. I feel greatly honored and privileged I had the opportunity to get to know Joan and will always be inspired by her life. I trust her life's work will be richly rewarded in heaven.
