I want all the family to know they are in my thoughts and prayers. My family and I lived across the street from the Radley’s. They were the best neighbors anyone could ask for. I’m still in shock about Joan . I feel blessed I got to see her a couple of times last year and share some laughs with her. God bless.

My family lived next door to the Radley’s growing up on Salem Rd. I was several years younger than Joan but she always made time to talk with me. She was a wonderful person to chat with and was always interested in what was going on in my boring life and at school.
I am sorry for your loss Radley family. I love and miss you all. Such priceless good times. May our Lord lay His hand of peace upon each of you and Joan’s husband, children and grandchildren.
