Dear Tim, Laurie and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. Although I did not know her well, I observed her and Greg on a regular basis when my family attended 5:00 Mass on Saturdays at Christ the King. I was always touched by the love and care Greg and Joan showed for each other, and the wonderful support you gave them. They always looked like a couple whose marriage was made in heaven. May Joan rest in peace in God’s hands, and may God comfort all of you at this time.
Sincerely,
Susan McDowell
