Joan will be forever missed and never forgotten. She always treated me as if I were one of her children and accepted me into the family with open arms. I can recall my first meeting with Joan and Dan. I had been dating Debbie for a while, and she invited me over for dinner and to meet her parents. Big moment and I was a bit nervous. But we had a great dinner and when it came time for dessert of lemon pie, Joan's description of how tart the pie was and what it would make pucker, had me turn eight shades of red. I am sure Deb wanted to sink under the table, but it was classic Joan.
I knew then I found my people :)
Dan & Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Joan, or Big Bertha, as she was affectionately known to many of my GML readers will be sorely missed. Joan had a wonderful sense of humor and I could always count on her for a good laugh when I needed it.
Please know that you are in my thoughts,
Dave.
