Aunt Joan, I will always cherish the time I was lucky enough to spend with you. You’re the one who sparked my love for Gone with the Wind and Little Debbie cakes, and I’ll always smile remembering our fun sleepovers with you, Uncle Joe, and Kim. I can’t begin to put into words how much I miss you. You were always there to celebrate my accomplishments, offer guidance, and show me love every step of the way. I love you deeply and miss you more than words can say.
I will always remember and hold dear to my heart the fun times we had together. Sleepovers at your house, swimming, gymnastics fun in your backyard, Sunday dinners, breakfasts at Clells, beach trips, watching Marietta football games on Friday nights and just time sitting out on the porch talking. I will cherish forever the memories I have and the time we spent together. I love you and will miss you so very much!
This website cannot hold all the wonderful family memories I have. And more important than those memories, is that you are and always will be - in my heart. I love you Aunt Joan. Love Shannon.
I remember the good times growing up going to parades, winning gold fish at the state fair, going camping on cumberland island, cookouts in the backyard, sunning at the pool, birthdays, red christmas lights, the best fried okra, and cornbread and of course aunt joan sweet tea. I love you and I will miss you always.
I love you and will miss you dearly. Your Sister Jean
