Cecil and family.....I'm not sure if you remember me from Family Dental when I worked with Joan, but she and I had some really great work day experiences together. She was a pleasure to have as a co-worker/fellow dental assistant. I remember when she and I traveled back and forth to GTCC for our classes in radiology. We did more laughing to and from our classes than anything else. I know your hearts are breaking to lose someone so special too soon in life. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and may God embrace you during the days ahead.

Cecil, We were so sorry to hear about Joan. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. She will be missed greatly. We all use to have some good times back in our younger days. Jim and I have been married 51 years this year, so you and Joan have been married a year longer than us. That is truly something these days to be married that many years. Again, we are so sorry for your loss and you will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Take care. Jim and Hilda Trent
