    Miss you my best friend for 52yrs. You were my sister, friend and confidant. We talked every day and you always listened, but never judged. I don’t know how I’m going to live without you...... 💔

    Michael, I have many fond memories of your Mom and Dad, you and Joan. The Smits clan would visit the Reese crew in Fairfax and we would share a beverage and some smiles! I was so sorry to learn of Joan’s death and hope it gives you some comfort that she now joins your Mom and Dad and all your other loved ones safely at rest in our Lord’s loving arms. My family joins yours tomorrow in spirit. You are in my family’s thoughts and prayers. Diane (Smits) and Bob Lein and family
