Thoughts & Reflections

Farewell Joan, may spirit embrace you and lift you to eternal wonderment. I know Julie will miss you immensely, but please know that I will be there with her, supporting her to grow and thrive into her later life, just as she will with me. Rest in peace.

Dear Joan was a work colleague first who became a dear friend over 27+ years. Working together in vocation area – we did hundreds of meals, morning teas, staff luncheons , blah blah. We were naughty. We had fun. Joan to this day was th kindest and most genuine lady I’ve worked with. Joan you taught my kids and me a lot of life’s lessons. Thankyou. May your loved ones find comfort with your deep faith. Rest in peace.

Although I only knew Joan briefly through art classes at U3A, I very much enjoyed her company, a lovely lady.
Heartfelt sympathy to family and friends.
Sadly, I am unable to attend the service celebrating Joan’s life.

Joan was a dedicated and clever colleague, a kind and genuinely caring friend. After working at Clayfield, I used to see Joan with her book club at Dolci Sappori and her face would light up hearing about family and work news. Joan was gentle yet had a sharp wit coupled with an unforgettable smile. Condolences to her family and friends, she was indeed a treasure.
