Joanie, you will be missed sorely.. You have been a breath of fresh air and were a delight to work with on the FCE Board. Heaven better hang in there!! Your dedication, organizational and people skills are deeply inspiring and I am sure you will be equally busy and productive up there. God Bless your family and I know the memory of your warmth will sustain them through this time. Vaya Con Dios Amiguita.

Joan you've done so much good work - thank you. I first meet you many years ago when we both served on the joint committee that combined Lucille M. Nixon Elementary with Fremont Hills Elementary. My children were in the same grade at Nixon as yours, so I met you often at B-parties and school events.

May God Bless you, we shall all miss your good works for the community.

Joan, what an inspiration you have been to all of us who have had the pleasure of knowing you. My time working with you, both on the Foundation Bd. and at Women's Club is one of great fondness. What a role model you have been. I will hold your wonderful family in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your kind and upbeat spirit.
