Joan was one person I actually cared about when I worked for Muskegon County Health Department. She actually treated me like an equal rather than a little kid. She was a wonderful person and friend and I will never forget the times we had together in that smoke filled room. It was difficult to be there because I did not smoke but her company made it worth while. She always made me smile and laugh.##imported-begin##Maxine Wojton FitzPatrick##imported-end##

I just found out today that the lord had taken my aunt joan home. she wasn't really my aunt but that's how my family loved her so. actually "joan" was my advocate 11 years ago. I am from Newyork, LongIsland and joan really made me feel comfortable living here. joan,was a true angel because she did so many godly things for others. i have so much to say but most of all i would like to say" thanks to chuck and renee for sharing such a very, very special person with me". I will really miss my "aunt joan". my condolences are with the family and i will always keep u in my prayers.##imported-begin##paula addison##imported-end##

To the Hoffman Family
Joan, you were one of my best friends while at the Health Dept. I was very grateful to all the rides to see my horse when I was having transportation problems. Chuck and Rene, I am not sure if you remember me, but I met you a few times. I am sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful, giving person. I am very thankful to have seen her last year at Bike Time. I will forever remember her. God Bless you all.##imported-begin##Cory (Liebertz) Cobb##imported-end##
I don't know where to start...I guess from the begining. I have so many things to thank her for. I came to Muskegon from New York 15 years ago. I was pregnant and lost; and Joan helped me find my way. Not only was she my advocate, but she was a family member and friend to me and my husband. She took out so much time on evenings and weekends to help us find our first place. Over the years she came to many family events along with Chuck, Renee, Alex and her son-in-law. I wonder if she ever knew how good that made me feel. I know Joan is now in Heaven where there is peace & quiet reading another good book and playing with "ozzie"##imported-begin##Rachel Gilchrist##imported-end##
I worked with your mom for many years at MCHD---she was a great lady. We had some great times together--at work as well as after work. My deepest sympathy to your family. May her memories live in your hearts forever.##imported-begin##Kathy Hayes##imported-end##
