  5. To the Sim family,
    Joan was a loved member and friend in the St John’s Uniting Church Cowes community for many years. We miss her incredible intellect, sharp humour and commitment to Justice in our community: and her tireless work in the wider Phillip Island wider community through Vinnies and Rural Action for Refugees (just to mention a few).
    We give thanks for the love and life she shard with us all: we send our love to Graham and all the family.

  23. Our deepest condolences to Graham, the Sim boys and their families. What a fitting sendoff, and how proud Joanie must be seeing her four sons supporting one another. Well done Sim bros, your eulogies were both moving and funny (I picked up some good tips for managing our boys). We’ve donated to Vinnies in Joanie’s name: “In loving and awe-inspiring memory of a truly great woman and role-model, Joan Sim. Joanie taught us all the real meaning of the word ‘compassion’. We hope that with this gift, Joanie can keep caring for others even after her sad passing.” Love from the Mitchell family (Lin’s sister in Sydney) xox
