God bless you, Michael, Amanda, Lisa and your families during this sad time. I always looked forward to spending time with Joan either when she was visiting her dearly loved husband, Bill, and after she herself came to live at Mercy Place. She was always so delightful with new stories to tell and questions going around in her incredibly active mind. Missing you, Joan. But enriched well and truly by knowing you so well.

My condolences to the Hill-Peters family. Joan and Bill were great friends of my parents, Tom & Kathleen Noonan, (both deceased). I also remember Joan and the girls playing tennis for Hawkesdale, and they made a formidable team. Rest in peace Joan, now forever with your beloved Bill.

I had the very great privilege of regularly administering holy communion to Joan over the past 2 years. We prayed together for her family and all whom she loved.. Lots of chats, reminiscences and laughs. She was a wonderful woman, strong, steadfast and easy to like.
I send my deepest condolences to her family whom she held so very dear.
R.I.P Joan. Deepest sympathies
