Joan was pregnant.

Friends said that Joan was ecstatic to be pregnant.

pray for Joan

She is described as bubbly, funny and always smiling. She is also described as sensible and level-headed and yet a hopeless romantic.

Joan is survived by many loving friends and relatives including her husband, Cory Ryther.

Pray for justice for Joan.

God save us from the Lost Ones who stalk the Earth stealing away life. Amen. 

Pray that Joan is in heaven. Pray that she is at peace and is with God. Amen.
