Joanna was very kind, understanding and supportive right from the very beginning of difficult period in our lives with the loss of our beloved mother. The support was always there and very much appreciated by us all. It made a difficult time easier to cope with. A wonderfully caring person and a professional of whom Lymn's should be very proud. Thank you. We feel very pleased that our paths crossed
