I think of all the good times we shared over the years: golfing till dusk, pool time, happy hours, Destin, our trips east and more. When Joan and I talked last, she spoke about the wonderful time she had with you just recently - wonderful memories. I will miss our chats and the good times we shared. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. With love, Jess
What a lovely woman your mother was! Although I didn't know her well - I am Jess Troyer's sister - she was always so friendly when she and your father lived on Mahogany Rd. When we met, I always referred to her as " Frank Coleman's little sister" and that woould bring a smile to her face. My sincere thoughts are with you girls and your families. Isabel McNiece.
Jenn, My heart goes out to you and your family during this sad and difficult time. Reading the other condolences, your mom sounded like a lovely mother who passed those traits on to you. I trust there are many happy memories that your family will be sharing in the days and years ahead that will provide you some comfort. Connie Cowie
Jenn, please accept our sincere condolences during this difficult time. Losing a parent is very hard as both of us have experienced in recent years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Every Thursday evening when I was ready to go and play bridge downstairs, Joan would be standing by her door to help me get into the elevator. I am in a wheelchair and the elevator doors do not stay open long enough for me. Joan was always there to hold the doors for me. Last Thursday I did not see her, so I asked my husband to come and help me. Then at the bridge evening I heard that Joan was taken away by ambulance. I hoped and prayed that Joan would be OK. This morning I saw her picture in the obituaries. That was a shock. I hope Joan did not have to suffer. After bridge, when we got back to her door, we would always have a nice chat, with much laughter, for about half an hour until it was time for each of us to have our evening tea before going to bed. I will miss our little chats! My condolences to all her family. Joan will be forever in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace, Joan! Gertrude Roes
