Yesterday

Joan, Rah Rah and I went to James Island High School together in the " good ole days"! Joan and I graduated in 1959 together. Joan was a kind, loving and sweet girlfriend! After we were both married and had children, we attended St James Episcopal Church together. Christa and Michael knew our 3 girls Kelly, Kim and Kristi Smith. Rest in peace Joan- until we meet again. With our love and prayers. Ann & Rah Rah & Kelly, Kim and Kristi
