Oct. 11, 1929 - Nov. 7, 2008
Joan gently left us November 7, 2008 to meet up with Carl, Jean and Chuck. Joan gave us so much love during her time with us she will live on in our hearts forever.
The Watcher
She always leaned to
watch for us,
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate;
And though we mocked
her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would
seem more safe,
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all
so full of us,
She never could forget!
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet,
Waiting ‘til we come
home to her,
Anxious if we are late~
Watching from Heaven’s window,
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
~Margaret Widdemer
