I’m very sorry for your loss. Joan was a wonderful person who I first met at St James Westminster. Valerie my wife saw her regularly back when they both attended courses at Huron College. Such an intelligent woman, and a life long learner. She was as beautiful, kind and gentle as she was intelligent.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Joan was so lovely, and will be missed.
I am saddened to hear of Joan’s death. She offered me the gift of welcome when I was seeking a new church home. We enjoyed sharing a pew at St. James from time to time and I was inspired by her keen interest in learning and keeping current. She had an open and welcoming heart. May she receive great welcome home. Peace to Joan’s loved ones.
