Tribute

One year anniversary today of losing Joan-

Today I will be celebrating her life with her daughter.

Here are some of Joan's favorite things:
  • Coke in the can with a foam cozy and a bendy straw
  • 60's and 70's music and singing along to every song
  • Jimmy Buffet
  • Baconburger, medium rare - no condiments
  • Scrapbooking with friends and M&M's
  • Johnny Depp/Captain Jack Sparrow
  • Movies with happy endings and maybe a tear or two
  • Cruises with family
  • Backpack purses
  • Ziplock bags for everything
  • A good read
  • Reusing junk mail envelopes for lists
  • Dogwood blossoms
  • Bright fun colors especially in her clothes
  • Fun funky jewelry
  • Reisling wines
  • Disney World
  • Rosa Regale champagne
  • Reading several newspapers daily
  • Long lunches with ME
  • Being a grandmother to her grandsons
  • Phone calls from Barbara

That is just a sampling of the many things that Joan loved. She loved people and life - to the fullest. And they loved her right back.

A beautiful tribute, and so sad. I hope you and Joan's daughter were able to celebrate her life fully and take comfort in the memories.
