Joan was like a mother to me. Growing up I loved to hear my mom, Pat Singletary and Joan play duets on the piano. They were amazing! I have great childhood memories of Joan, George, Marsha, Cindy and Laurie as well as my friendship with Joan as an adult later. We shared real estate stories for years. My love to Marsha and Laurie and their families.

Elizabeth Jones

My condolences to all of Joan's family. We were fellow Realtors some years ago and I was always fond of her. I was surprised and happy to see her just recently before she became so ill. She mentioned a new great grandchild and I believe she was looking for something for her printer. She obviously enjoyed printing photos of her grands and greats; and you others, too, I'm sure. It was so good to see her.
I heard about her illness while she was in the hospital and that she was moved to hospice yesterday. I know you're all going to miss her so. May God bless each of you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth (Liz) W. Jones
