Joan was a beautiful lady inside and out and it was a pleasure to have known her. Her sense of humour and laugh was infectious and she could always be relied on for her kind nature and sage advice.

I hope you and your wonderful John are reunited and at peace now, Joan.

Thinking of all the family today and sending love.

Or Mam was the kindest, most caring and loving mother. She was always at our side, supporting us in our lives and cheering us on. She gave us a home life that was filled with love, fun, and encouragement. It’s difficult to now imagine Mam not here with us, but we know that she is both in our hearts and walking by our sides as we step forward into this different life.

We love you more than words can say and will forever keep you near. You are reunited with our wonderful Dad, the love of your life.

Until we all meet again, forever and always.
Us xxxxxxxxxx
