Dear Joan,

Some of the most important years of my career in electronic imaging included a close and meaningful relationship with you. I will be forever grateful for meeting you and knowing a woman I can confidently say is by far one of the most substantial I have ever known. You will be sorely, sorely missed by me and the many, many people you have touched in this world! I will continue to pray knowing that God has invited you into his beautiful kingdom to continue to do the good work you do for all!

I love you, Joan.
