My condolences to the family and all of Joan's friends. I don't

think I got to know her, but I love her favorite poem. I have

recently lost 2 people I love. Very hard to hold back the tears when

reading this poem. Very beautiful.

No more pain, Joan. God bless you.

Blessings, love, and peace,

Ebony
