    So sorry for your lost. We so enjoyed visiting with her. My father and mother ( Robert and Carolyn Morgan)were on the same hall. We sure did have some good talks and laughs when they were eating lunch together. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

    To the family of Joan :
    My deepest sympathy to all of you. Joan was a patient of mine and I absolutely loved her. About a week ago I sit with her and put chapstick on her lips and gave her some water. She asked me if her children knew she loved them and I reassured her that you all sure did. She was a little firecracker with the love of everything “RED”. I am sure going to miss her dearly! I just wanted to let you know what a fine lady Joan was… which I know you all already know this!

    Love and prayers
