I never knew Joan personally, as I lived in Des Moines, but we became friends on FB some years back and I really enjoyed her friendship and her love for the Lord. My husband Roger Britt and his family (in Cincinnati) knew her well and she resided in the Britt home for some years after Roger's parents Glen & Reva Britt moved to AZ to be near their sons and families in the late 70s or early 80s. She was a wonderful person and dedicated to her ministry. We are praying for your family, God bless all of you.
