So many great memories of fin times with Theresa, Michelle and Noreen in that wonderful house across the street from Brooklyn Elementary.  Marco was the cool big brother.  My condolences to your large extended family. I would love to get in touch with Teresa if anyone can point me in her direction or she can contact me. Love and prayers to you all.

I had pleasure of working with Joan many years ago.   She was great lady to work with. My sympathy to the family.

Dear Grandma Joan...

My heart aches everyday knowing I never got to say good bye to you. I love you and miss you so much. Now you are with your love Rudy and with Jesus. 

Forever in my heart grams! Love, Debbie

Dear Aunt Joan, Thank you for all the fond memories, for your generosity and hospitality.  I loved staying in your house and going to the beach with you and the girls.  Thank you also for sharing your home and taking good care of my mother for many years.  I pray that all of you 10 children are once again together in heaven with Grandma and Grandpa.   Love, Diane

Mom's favorite Bible vs. is John 8:12  Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world . He who follows Me  shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.   I thank God for Mom, and the time He gave me with her.      Marco

Grandma Joaner - I will miss you so much even the times you were only sitting on the couch. Even though I didn't get to know you very well I know that you were a great person. I will miss you even though I know you will be watching me overhead.

Grandma Joaner - I wish that we had more time and that my children would have a had a chance to know the wonderful grandma I remember, that taught all the grandkids how to swim, would sing and play the piano for us, fishing and stargazing when we went camping, and experience your warm, loving hugs. I am glad you are finally with your beloved family in heaven, able to sing and play piano again, and watch down over all of us.

Noreen, Teresa, Michelle, Marco and all my dear cousins.
Comforted by warm and sweet memories of Auntie Joanie, and thinking of all the 10 Kennedy siblings from decades past.   Hoping the attached photo will bring a smile to your faces during this difficult time (photo taken in Bridge Idaho 1929 (?), left to right Grandad Ben, Grammie Mae, Howard, Irene, Boyd, Joan, Leland, Ben).
