I first met Joan 73 years ago when I was born. I did not see much of Joan in my early years until 1951when she came from Ontario to visit me in Saint Louis and that was the start of our close relationship. Joan introduced me to the love of my life when I visited her in St Marys Ontario. Joan and Alma came to visit me when I was stationed near Detroit. That was the start of our long friendship that is still going on.
We did not see much of Joan again until 1961 when we moved from Seattle back to Quebec, Joan was in the Ottawa area and we soon moved to Belleville .and on to Toronto area. From this point on we as a family were very close with the Johnston family and often spent Christmas or New Years with them or them with us. We became even closer when Joan moved out to BC in 1994
Joan was a real friend to both of us and we are going to miss her very much.

My thoughts are with the entire family. I was a fellow parishioner of Mrs. Johnston in Manotick and knew her well.
