"We remember Joan?s quiet and gentle ways when she attended our Mothers Rosary Group and was always ready to lend a helpful hand. She also sweetly babysat for our two oldest children. Our son, Matt, remembers her insisting you butter the bread first before toasting it and to pour the milk in the bowl before adding the cereal. As per your request, we shall have Masses said for her at our home parish, to always recall her holy servitude. ??? May God bless His little Joan."
