Rick and family, I am sorry to hear of Joan’s passing.  I greatly respect her and all the volunteer work she did at the club.  Since I am isolating I cannot be there, otherwise, I would be.  Please take comfort in knowing how many lives she touched.

There was not a more faithful worker than Joan. She took care of employees needs yet typed at the speed of lightning. She was able to handle most any problem or would find someone who could.
