Rest In Peace, dear friend and neighbor. I will miss our outside times together on the swing.We talked about our families and the fun we had on shopping excursions. Again I will miss you.

We grew up together remaining best friends throughout the years. The distance between Chicago and San Francisco did not alter our special friendship and we continued to share our lives. Joan’s husband, family and deep faith were paramount to her. I miss her but Joan will always be with me. Joanne Kaczor
I always loved when I would see you on my dog walks. Ron would stop the car and Ron, Joan and I would have conversations in the middle of the street! Joan was a strong, faith-filled woman, amazing grandmother and role model. Joan will be missed in the SJC community!
