I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Ms Joan
I was one of Ms. Joan’s nurses while she was at VillaSpring. She always had the best personality with a contagious smile. One of my favorite moments with her was when she first got to VillaSpring, she would yell out “Joan needs help” and when you would go in, she would say “I just wanted to say hi” and giggle with a infectious smile! Definitely miss her. Thank you and. Joan for all the smiles and laughs.
Sweetest southern lady!
Met Ms. Joan thru Faith Christian Church. She always had a smile on her face. She was also very meticulous about her hair and nail appointments. My favorite sayings of hers is “Thank you kindly!” I will miss you so Ms. Joan!
Mrs. Steinke was such a sweet lady.
I have such fond memories of spending time at the Steinke home. She was always so kind! Mrs. Steinke was quick to laugh and always had a smile.
