Joan’s family would like to extend a special thank you to Caring Solutions and Hospice Alliance, Inc., for the exceptional care and compassion shown to her.
To my children and their spouses, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends, When I leave you do not weep for me. Have a drink and remember how my jokes and laughing pleased you. Look at one another smiling and play some country music. As for me, I’ll be off somewhere making people laugh with my Johnny and his gun joke and washy washy with new blue Cheer! Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars and when you are ready I’ll be there waiting for you. Take your time!
