Condolences

Condolence From: Glenn
Condolence: Joan was and will always be a special friend in my heart.

Besides the wisdom and special communication Joan was able to speak with me about, she knew and would call me when I most needed to hear from her. She was in tune with my guardian angels and new when I needed her most without even contacting her.

We shared both our lives and an occasional meal together.

I never got to have that "special" dance we were supposed to have together and she probably knew all along.

No One will be able to call me "Darling" without my proud memories of Joan I was so blessed to share this earth with.

God has caled her home for good this time and all who really know Joan will miss her dearly.

I will pray and talk with regularly and hopefully entertain her in her new journey with God.

God Bless my friend and party well.

Thank you for everything!

Your "darling" Glenn

Condolence: Her spiritual wisdom and guidance led my husband Fred to find me. We were married 26 years ago and are still together. I will always remember how she accepted me into the family. I am saddened that I did not get to speak with her like I wanted to before her death. That's not say we still can't. She was a very classy and spiritual lady. Rest in Peace, sweet woman!

Condolence: My sincere condolences to all of Joan's family, friends, loved ones. I've know Joan since 1970...back when she did reading/house parties. She was truly a great psychic, but much more than that , she was a truly remarkable, caring lady. Very compassionate, funny, fun. Actually an angel in disguise. Eternal rest unto Joan. The world is a better place for having you been in it.

Condolence: I lost my mommom this week. To some you were a savior, a Guardian Angel, the connection between these two crazy worlds. To me you were mommom. The woman I could turn to for quite literally ANYTHING. I know that people say no two people are alike, but God truly broke the mold when he made you. You never held back what you really felt. Told people exactly what you wanted to say. You were the type of person that would give your very last dime to help out family, a friend, even a stranger. Darling, babydoll, George - you had pet names for everyone. Well, you just knew how to make everyone feel special. Remember that summer my car broke on my birthday? You let me borrow yours. I'll never forget filling her up with gas, and as everyone complimented this "sweet ride" seeing the shock on their faces when telling them this car was my grandmothers (well, it's not too crazy, I mean you were only 39 :-p ) You didn't want to be what anyone expected to you be. My mommom helped solve puzzling police cases. My mommom traveled the WORLD. My mommom helped parents reconnect with lost children. My mommom has earned her wings(and some pretty jazzed up fancy ones at that!!!!) Here's to you, George- until we meet again

Condolence: So.........you finally made it to the "party". It helps knowing that you were welcomed with loving familiar arms of all your friends and family who were already there. I know you're dancing and mingling and I'm sure for the first time in a long time you're not tired at all. You will be missed for a very long time. I take comfort now knowing we have our own gaurdian angel watching over us. I can't say Goodbye, I won't say Goodbye, because I know we'll meet again....So for now, I will just say...
'nite George xoxo

Condolence From: Michelle Weston
Condolence: I once heard we're blessed if we have one person in our life who truly touches us in a special way...the diversity and nature of their love and friendship , spirit and lessons will remain vivid and with us through a lifetime. I'm very, very lucky...I was blessed once again with Joan. Thank you Joan...you've given me more than I can ever express. Knowing what you told me of your past experience during your short visit, it's comforting to know now that you're staying, you really do have the best of both worlds...in every sense of the word. I really, really miss you...you'll always be in thoughts and heart. Love always, Michelle xo
