Mum, you have been my rock/support/angel through the good times and the bad, but never ever giving up on me and supporting me through some tough times. You always put everyone first before yourself, you are a loving, caring, compassionate and exceptional person. I will miss our trips to the Moon Under the Water for a meal and drink, you always said that this is our special time together. All the time we spent together has been special, valued and a blessed gift. When I was down you would cuddle me and say do not worry. You were there with your grandchildren Leona and Craig for the first 2 weeks of their life and have been a big part in our lives. We were blessed to have you as our mother and the grandchildren had you as their nan. We miss you so much, even though you are not here in a physical form, you will always be in our memories always now and forever. Mum, you have now joined dad and Karen in heaven with the Lord, may you rest in peace. Love you to the moon and back love from your daughter Dawn, Adrian, Leona and Craig. xxxx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joan. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
