We lost a dear friend/babysitter and adopted grandmother this past week.
Joan Lovell started babysitting for us in 1994 when I first started The Buck Stop. After interviewing several, terrible candidates to watch Erin and Danny while both Mar and I worked...
Joan was a Godsend.
Always there when we needed her....
never missed a day....never late and always great with the kids...
The Buck Stop would have never happened without the peace of mind that Joan gave us.
We all packed her up last August as she left Lockport to move out to PA to live closer to her son Rocky.....she had done this once before a few years back....and moved back to Lockport after a trial run......homesick I guess...
I teased her telling her that she couldn't come back because my back couldn't handle moving her HUGE grandfather clock again!!
Spoke to her on her B-Day in December and on Christmas Day.....
she caught a virus after Christmas and it was just too much for her.
She was a strong lady who we hoped would beat it....but God had other plans.
Hard to believe that a total stranger 15 years ago ("Mrs Lovell")
could have made such a huge impact on our family and especially the kids.
She will be greatly missed by all of us and her own family,
who are all great people!
