    Cousin to Cousin, may memories of Our Dearest Joan and the love of family surround us and give us strength in days ahead. There is no gift of greater value than that of a cousins love. I ask that we hold on, if we as a family can put our trust in God, we can and will get through any thing. We will miss Joan, always, forever.
