I was so sorry to hear of Joanne's illness and death. I was really fortunate to have had her for a friend during our college years and beyond. I always thought of you and Joanne as exceptional people with an exceptional marriage. It was a pleasure and an honor to know you both. I will be with you on line and in spirit for the memorial service.

Ben, Alex and I always enjoyed being with you and Joanne and your family in Georgia, and when we met in other places you or we lived. Your lives were full with projects and travels, and we always looked forward to your holiday cards full of news. Joanne was interesting, intelligent and busy, with many friends whose lives, like yours, she enriched. Our thoughts are with you and your family and with the others she left behind as you go through this sad time.

Ben, Words cannot express the feelings of loss we all are experiencing. It is impossible to know the lives that were touched by this wonderful woman. Know that you and your family are all in our prayers.

Joanne and Ben are old friends from Ben's high school alma mater- Decatur High School. We enjoyed being together on a 50th reunion cruise celebration. Joanne was a lovely, refined, intelligent woman, and she will be sorely missed by her friends and family. Ben, I love you and if you need anything, please do not hesitate to call. You are in my prayers too.

Dear Ben,
You will recall that Joanne and I determined that she was born on a Sunday morning in 1939 and I was born that evening. Not many can share their birth on the very same day 74 years ago. Carolyn and I extend our heartfelt sympathy. May God bless you with comfort and peace during this difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ben, It is hard to believe that your dear wife is gone. She seemed fine at the reuntion, but perhaps she was not. You were so kind to take all those wonderful photos and send them to us on a disc. I have enjoyed reliving the event. My favorite was the Twins with Johnny Morrow and Dick Johnston (twim\ns for the night). Please know that I am thinking of you . Beverly Kenton Mason. Class of 1958
