One of the many wonderful parents that made shadylawn THE best place to grow up.
I still remember cutting through your backyard getting to and from the credit river. Your mom never thought anything of it, always said 'hi' as if children trespassing was the most normal thing in the world.
thinking of you all.
take good care.

To Gerry and the Lewis Family - We are so sorry for your loss and thinking of you all during this difficult time. This is a beautiful picture of Joan, in nature, a favorite spot of hers. She shared her love of gardening with me and I often think of her when I am puttering about in the yard. Joan was a smart, strong, and interesting woman that we were honored to know and share a conversation or story with.

Take comfort in your wonderful memories.

Love, Jim, Joan, Scott and Allyson

We're so saddened to hear of Joan's passing. We shared many good times together as colleagues and then later as just friends. She will always be remembered as the helpful and wise teacher to whom we all came for advice.

Thanks, Joan.....aka "Grammar Queen."
