Joan Ann Svetanics

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. SVETANICS, Joan Ann, O'Fallon, MO; passed away peacefully with her family at her side October 22, 2006. Daughter of the late Andrew and Frances Grzechowiak. Survived by husband, Donald Svetanics, Sr., sons Donald Jr. (Linda), James and daughter Christine (Michael Beiermann) and four wonderful grandchildren, Tony, Hunter, Joshua and Ashley. Joan was a generous , loving wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. God looked around His garden and He found an empty place. He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you up to rest. God's Garden is so beautiful--He always takes the best. He knew you were suffering; He knew that you would never get well on Earth again. He then took you up to Heaven with hands so gentle and kind. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. Part of us went with you the day God took you home.
