Nana- you were my heart and I know my life will never be the same. I know I'm not able to see you but I carry you in my Spirit and my Heart every day until we are reunited together again. I thank God for giving me the privilege of being your grand-daughter. You were and will always be very much loved.

Dear Family of Joan,
Once, while attending a friend's funeral I sensed an awesome irony.
The beautiful flowers looked alive and vibrant but, because they were cut flowers, they were actually dead. They just had the appearance of life. On the other hand, Joan is very much alive, although she had the appearance of death.
This wonderful illustration is of the truth in regard to death.

Dorwyn and family, I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Joan from as far back as when I was a kid. She introduced me to church festivals and ST. martin's fair. She was a very good hearted person and will be missed. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family.
