I also know Joan maybe not by sight but I do know her by her soul. We met
just 3 months ago and I know Joan has it really rough . I on the other
hand have it pretty easy.
The Joan I know is a kind warm and sensitive person always there when
you need her. She is a positive person with a great sense of humor. Joan
pal I love you and my hat goes off to you.
