Aunt Joan will be sorely missed - indeed irreplaceable. Thankfully, she's now with our Lord and God and free from any pain and suffering. Although it is, and will be, difficult with that void, she did prepare us for this time. I still see her smiling, feel her welcoming and comforting nature and most definitely hear her laugh, a laugh that truly was from the heart.

Uncle Butch, Billy, Chad and your families and the whole Maddox family: you are in our daily prayers and thoughts during this difficult time and always are only a phone call away - Dale & girls.

comfort.

So hurt to hear of our loss of such a special person. We enjoyed many lunches together when in better health. She will surely be missed by all who knew her and her wonderful smile she brought into everyones life. May God give the family peace and love during this time of lost of such a prescious Wife, Mother and Grandmother. She loved her Grands and talked of them all the time. Rest in peace my dear friend and there will be no more pain. I will miss you but we will meet again and have our lunch with Jesus. With deepest regrets,
Peggy Thomson
