It’s likely that few if any of Joanne's Friends and relatives know me. I (and my husband) knew her through friendly and spiritual conversations.

What a wonderful, kind, fascinating lady she was! We first met one day when I was engaged in a volunteer Christian ministry and she was about to leave on a tour to Greece. After her return we talked about her beautiful trip that included so many art and historical sites, including so many from early Christianity. I didn’t get to know her as a professor, but l’m sure she was a wonderful teacher. I also know she was a diligent and talented gardener. She took us a little “tour” of her backyard one time. Beautiful! From time to time we would visit for a friendly conversation and were saddened when she told us of her cancer diagnosis a few months ago.

Please accept our sincere condolences on her passing. I know she surely has left a wonderful legacy. We will be out of town from Sunday on next week so regretfully cannot attend the calling hours.
I want to thank her niece (sorry I didn’t catch her name) for calling me today with the sad news. I appreciate that she took the effort to call me, a stranger. Sincerely, Elaine Stewart
