Dear Todd, my heart broke when I saw Joan’s name. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Through this difficult time please remember that many people care about you. My love and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Todd,
I’m very sorry for your loss. I was a friend of your brother. I knew your Mom and Dad. And you. I probably aggravated your Mom a little bit, but; did respect her and looked up to her!! Please accept my codolences.
Todd and family,
So very sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. I imagine Pete had quite the party planned for her arrival! May you be filled with lots and lots of wonderful memories!

Cindy and Angie, So sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. I will remember her smiling face and always her being with Pete and her dogs. They were both a delight to know and I will miss them both. I have wonderful memories of them being happy together and their great ability to make me laugh. May you be blessed with such memories. Patti Trapp( from Dr. Brent Jones’s office) and Rick Trapp.
