    I will miss a very special friend that I met many years ago at the CWS – So many great times and conversations over the years that I will always cherish. Love to Joan’s family!

    A beautiful service for a beautiful woman. I’m so thankful that I was able to meet Joan through my Mom at the CWS. Joan and Wick were so good to us and I’m thankful for the memories we have. Prayers and love to the entire family!

    My wife and I and all of the Knapp family send our most heartfelt condolences to Kristy and Col. Wicklund. So many great times and memories at the Wicklund house on Martin Dr. May Joan Rest in Peace.
