JOANS FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND AGAIN I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THIS. SINCERELY, ANNE WOODYARD

Dear Shive family, It was such a shock to hear the news of Joan's death. I worked with Joan years ago when she was the Floyd Home Health Supervisor. I remember Joan being a gentle soul. It is hard to express my sadness for her and your family at this time. Please know that others are thinking of you all at this time and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Joan was a wonderful lady. She will be greatly missed. I will continue to send my thoughts and prayers.

Joan was a great nurse and I really enjoyed working with her. I did home health with her as a physical therapist and knew her to be a kind caring nurse. My thoughts are with you, Margaret Hoskins, PT
