My mother is a current resident at Westmont Nursing Home. Many times I would see Joan at activities in the afternoon and she would sit with my mom and I and color pictures. She was always in the beauty salon each week with my mom also. Such a nice lady. My sympathy to your family.

I remember when I first started on 400 how nice Joan was to me and her and Sammy and I would go take breaks together and watch price is right. I loved Joan she was awesome to me and I loved how she always talked about and loved her family. I feel like I know you all through her. So sorry for your loss. I think of your mother often with fond thoughts and she would bring a smile to my face.
