I will always miss my friend Joan. I always think of her when I walk in Glen Ellyn & when I see the color purple! She still brings a smile to my face when I think of her.

Bob & Sons,
My condolences to you and your family. I worked with Joan at Sidwell for many years and it's an honor to know she was my friend. Her kindness and friendship will never be forgotten.

Joan was one of my first and better friends from all our years at Sidwell together. I know I was the fortunate one to have had her as a friend. While we talked only occasionally these last couple of years, life is still going to seem a little emptier without her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
