Cory, Trisha and family...
another former Datacom co-worker yes Joan was one heck of a great lady. Her laugh made you smile even if you wanted to scream. She leaves a big void.

Joan was one of a kind and will missed by many. She was a great confidant and I could tell her anything without it being repeated. I just saw not to long ago and she looked great. I cannot express how sorry I am to the whole family. Love you Joan?
