My condolences to Joan's family, including her sisters Irene and Dorothy. The "Charleswoth girls" were dear friends of my father, Bill Price, and his sisters, Jean and Hilda and their parents. Joan's parents were our beloved Auntie Alice and Uncle "Charlie"; the friendship went back many decades. I hope you are able to support each other in this difficult time and remember all the good, loving times you shared.
