To the Family of Joan Slack - My deepest sympathy on your loss. Joan was a wonderful Easter Star Sister and friend. She organized the annual "Grand Representatives" fraternal night which continued for many years at Temple Terrace Chapter. She was very proud to have served the Order as a Grand Representative and a Past Matron. She always smiled and welcomed everyone. Many prayers for each of you. In time, may the knowledge that she has gone home to be with our Heavenly Father and her beloved Charlie give you some peace and comfort. We will miss her.

To the Family of Joan Slack,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers. We began missing Joan when she moved to the Venice area and could no longer attend our Eastern Star meetings. She always had a smile and a wonderful laugh. And I remember the Red Camaro she used to drive. She will always be remembered as a faithful Eastern Star member.
