    So sorry to hear of Joan's death. Aunt Emma and my mother, Lula, were sisters. Due to the distance from California, I will not be able to attend her funeral but will hold you all in my thoughts. Joan Moore

    If God made a more energetic, hopeful and upbeat soul.... It would have to be Joan's twin. Her voice echos still around every bleacher she wore out. NO one lady did more for baseball in Mitchell than her. To say I loved her, seems short of even close to how I feel. My heart goes out to Kevin..... My friend and teammate!!!!!!! She and Ollie are together again.......I am wishing I could be there! Last time I saw Joan and Kevin was at my moms views..... It's plain to me..... A loud and beautiful Angel has gone home!!!!
