Pat and I were student nurses together and became good friends back then. I was Joan Sumner then. Life took us on different paths but later we came back together. I married Joe Sigman, a realtor, who sold them there house in Islandwood. She was such a good person and I know she will be missed very much. My prayers are with all the family. Joan Davis
