I met Joan when she was a sales rep and came into my store in Amador City back in 1986. She was this vibrant, friendly lady and we hit it off great. She went on to represent my husbands wood work/folk art and this was the beginning of a long relationship. We all spent many, many a New Years Eve together and we never lost contact with each other, although she moved many miles away from us. She was such a sincere person, so easy to talk to you. Always adventerous, she loved life. I wish I could have seen her one more time after she moved back with Mari, but, none the less, I hold many memorable moments spent with her in my heart.. RIP dear friend...see you in heaven!!!!!!
