To Brendan and family we were saddened to hear of your mum’s passing. You will have many beautiful memories to keep close to your heart. Thinking of you – the members of the Morwell Historical Society

Your kids did you proud today Joan. The stories and the music were moving and also showed your funny side. Rest easy sweet girl knowing all the things you’ve said and done over the years has not been lost on them. They are a credit to yiu xx

Dear Joan, I was gobsmacked and so sad to hear that someone so filled with fun and life was taken far too early.Condokences to Laura and all the family. RIP dear Joan.Xx

Sometimes in life, we meet people who genuinely make a mark. They come into your life and things are never the same. You think of them when you do certain things, or see certain places.
They are in your heart, and front of mind. They become a part of you. Their influence shapes you, guides you, and educates you. These people are rare and Joannie, you are rarer still.
Never had I had the pleasure of someone as funny, stern, loving, generous, unique, and free-spirited as you are.
I’ve been so lucky and grateful for the years I’ve had you in my life and you’ll continue to haunt me in your sweet way every time the Cats are on the telly, or when I drink a glass of Chandon, thinking to myself I should polish the bottle because that is what Joannie would have then (I’ll still curse you when I wake up hung-over for being a bad influence even from the grave).
I guess what I’m trying to say is that as sad as your loss is, I’m blessed to have known you and called you my friend, my family!
My house and I will forever love you!
P.S. There’s no rest for the wicked, so you better be dancing your ass off to them pearly gates!
