Dear Harry and Family, It is our deepest sympathy for you all in loosing such a wonderful woman like Joan. She was one of our delightful patients when we were practicing in Hackettstown. She was a spirited woman always staying busy and helping out her fellow man. She was truly blessed to have such a great life here and especially with her family around those special holidays that she looked so forward to.
Heaven will truly have a special angel up there. May she rest in peace and smile down at her wonderful family and friends.
