Dear Wendy and family,
Sad news to hear of Joan’s passing. I was a Skidmore friend and we shared many good times together.The last time was in Vero Beach-Joan was a happy, smiling beautiful lady.

Wendy and family.
I was shocked and sad to hear about Joan. She was a good friend through out our college years. Later on we were able to see each other in Vero Beach. She topped us at golf. And I know she was happy moving north to be near more family. Kind and caring, she will be dearly missed
She always spoke lovingly of her family. My sympathy to all.

So sad to hear our beautiful may queen is no longer. My late husband,Gordon Eggers thought so much of the dear friend who we looked forward to seeing as we stopped in vero to visit a golfing cousin. Wondered why we had not heard more than your thoughtful address change.. My love to you for taking mom to your hometown. Georganne Eggers. Or. Hink to some.
