Joan May Galvin Dowling Tribute

Dear Cheryl and Dave--Although I didn't get to see Joan in the last few years, my memories of her are sweet and precious. I remember her singing "The Lord's Prayer" to me when I was just a little guy in my crib. I also remember watching her graduate from Nursing School. We were all so proud of her. I remember going to your wedding, Dave, and tying cans to the back of your car. She was such a good caring person, that sometimes when I was down on my luck in Oakland, she would give me dinner at the hospital. Frances says she never got the chance to meet Joan, but knows she would have been a good caring sister in law and friend. And Cheryl, this is from Auntie Fran. Sometimes Precious Memories are what we have to keep us going, and know that your Mom's eternal life is assured. Jesus knows our hearts, and we have to be thankful for His love. Take Care.
Luv ya,
Uncle John and Auntie Fran
