My family was so blessed to have met "Miss Joan" at Christ Our King Church day care. The love and devotion she bestowed on each of our sons was felt the very first day we met back in the late 1980's. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this sad time. With much love and prayers, Diane and Chris Case,Sr

Terri, Randy, Cheri, and family,
I am so sorry to hear about "Miss Joan". All those years she was in the nursery and helped the Marriage Group at COK with our evening dinners. She was such a big help to our group. I know how much she meant to Isabella and Adele! She will be greatly missed both at COK and especially in your family. Our prayers to you all
