“I do not know what to say. I was so saddened to hear of the loss. The Holy Week of 2023 will be remembered by everyone in this community, which is proof that God has used Joan's life abundantly to bless His people. My deepest condolences go to the Laarman family, and I am most grateful for having served Geneva Campus Ministry with Joan and Ed. It was an honor, and God will not cease to be glorified through your life. We cannot wait for the day our Lord will bring us altogether again. Seung Min”

Anita Jeyachandran wrote a sympathy message

“I was one of the many who was touched by Joan’s life while she and Ed served in Iowa City. She loved her Master well and she continued to nudge me to love God and follow Him faithfully even after she became ill. She loved us well—all the students who walked into her home on Friday nights felt the unconditional love of Ed and Joan. We always left their home with a full heart and an even fuller stomach. I am so grateful to have known her and to have been loved by her for the last 18 years.”
