I don't know why I thought of her tonight. I was remembering her Hummel collection. She and Harold were cherished friends of my father, Otto. I'm sure they're having some discussions on the otherside. Sorry for the grief you all are walking through while sharing cherished memories. Blessings and the healing light of Grace to you all.

Joan, you and Harold were the most exciting time of my life. Many hospital events, a vacation of a lifetime in Cancun, many,many card games and trips to Whitewater, Wisconsin. I cannot imagine my life without you. Love always, Ginny
