Kelly and family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Joan was so special and I loved that I had a kindred spirit to goof off with when we were in choir together. A quick jaunt to the store could turn into an hour trip if we ran into each other! As you know, I lost my mother just a few short weeks ago but I truly understand that it is different when the elderly pass on. Joan may not have lived on this earth for a long time but she did leave three children who showed their mother what true love is in the time she needed it most. You will always be watched over by the newest of God’s angels and I know she and my mom are having their own Irish celebrations!

Monahan & Froh families ~
Joan will always be in our hearts. As an only child visiting the Froh family was a wonderful whirlwind of fun, prayers, and love. Joan was now welcomed home by so many family & friends – as my Dad just passed away on St. Pat’s day we know they will be celebrating , and we are assured all in heaven will be with us every day till we see them again….
May the Peace of God hold you close,
