Joan was such a lovely woman. She was as beautiful on the inside as she
was on the outside. Joan was one of a kind, truly a friend, to all that needed one. She will be missed. With sympathy and love, Anita Shirey Miller
Well, I bet Joan & Tommy along with my parents have already played a game of 42 or Hand & Foot!!! Our families had some fun times together! Good memories! Jina (Diggs) Strohl
Sandra, Lynette, and Angie I met your mom shortly after she moved to Longview at a Writers Conference held at Contessa Inn. She and Milbra and I formed a solid friendship and we laughed and cried through many of life experiences together. Joan and I became so close she became my other sister. Seeing her laughing in the tribute picture hugs my heart as even though she put on a brave front that beautiful laugh has been rare during these last months. Lynette and Angie witnessing your care and perseverance over the last couple of months was a blessing. Shes had welcoming arms waiting for her in her new home in heaven.
Lynette, Sandra, Angie & families: Oh our our sincere prayers go out to each of you as your sweet mom will be missed ard the community here in East TX. I (Donna) have fond memories of going to school all the years with Lynette & Sandra in Paris, TX. Your mom & dad were fine folks, as I also moved here from Paris in 1978 & I saw your dad on his Kleen Sweep in the old
T-G-&Y parking lot early one morning running his machine! I was so shocked to see him, I had to stop & visit & say “hello”…that was right when your parents 1st started Kleen Sweep! May Jesus comfort each of you in the way only HE can do. 🙏 To God be the glory forever, with deepest sympathy, love & friendship always,
Keith & Donna (Sanders) Blanton
