April 24, 2023Our 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
