I would like to express my deepest my deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family of Joan Heiman, I am truly sorry for the lost that your family is feeling. Experiencing the lost of a beloved family member is one of the hardest things that any of us can go thru. And because of that my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Take comfort in knowing that God never intent for us to deal with sickness or death. But have assure in this wonderful promise that God holds out to us. He promise each of us that very soon he is going to reunite us back with all those loved ones that we have lost. (John 5:28,29) Until that time, cherish all the wonderful memories that you have of Mrs. Joan. These precious memories will console the family in the day's ahead.

My sincere sympathy to all of the family.
I've known Joan for over 50 years. She was such a kind, sweet lady that will be greatly missed by all that knew her. My thoughts and prayers are especially with Ellen, Lori and Gene and families at this difficult time.
Love from Lois Mosso
