Joan was the first stop on our Meals on Wheels delivery route and I so looked forward each time to seeing and visiting with her! I have missed her so and wondered where she had gone when she was no longer on my list. She loved to visit and chat with me, which I always wished I could do for a longer time but had to be mindful of the rest of the people on the route waiting for their meals! But we had fun chats -- she was so friendly and warm and interesting and for her age, so full of life. She was always interested in knowing about me and my family and she never sounded down or complained, even as I saw she was failing a little. She had always been sitting in the kitchen at her table waiting for the meal but then later she was lying down back in the back room, so that was the only way I knew she must not be feeling well. What a blessing she must have been to her family! I'm grateful for the brief time I knew her.
With love, Libby Fitzgerald
