Hello all,
This is the hardest email I have ever had to type. I am Lisa, Joan's 3rd daughter. Joan was the most amazing person who instilled such life and love in everthing she did and was and loved. Joan passed away yesterday. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this and I know how much her computer was a part of her life and how much she enjoyed keeping in contact with everyone so I thought I should send and all email and let her internet friends know.
Joan's reviewal will be Thurday night at Dingmanns in Annandale and this will all be listed in the paper and on the Dingmanns web site. And her Mass will be Friday at 1:00 at St. Ignausius in Annandale for anyone who would like to attend. This will also be in the Star and Tribune and Buffalo Drummer.
Again, I'm sorry if this is the way you are hearing this but I think you would want to know.
