    I am so sorry to hear of Joan passing. A nicer couple (Joe and Joan) are not to be found. Joe and I had many good times curling, and He and Joan were very proud of their family. Condolences to all the family members. Much love at this unhappy time.

    Sheila
    No matter when it happens when ones parent dies there is always an emptiness, a realization that physical contact, embraces/hugs/kisses, gestures of unbridled affection that only you understand will no longer be tangible – but I know you (like me) were very fortunate in being loved in a manner that transcends such delightful moments and you will always be secure in knowing that your parents are not gone in any real way but present forever. I am so sorry we will not be able to be at the mass but we depart for Jasper Thursday am.
    Barry and Grainne
