Farwell my childhood friend. My condolences to your family. Be at peace with our Lord.
Aunt Joan,
You were so tough for so long, surviving and defeating so much in your life that you are an inspiration to all of us to not give up when life tries to knock us down. Your legacy as a fighter and surviver will live on in our family through all of us, for we will never forget you or let you be far from our hearts.
You went to the angels in Heaven, but left us words of encouragement and I can’t thank you enough for showing all of us that sometimes the strongest thing you can do, is embrace when enough is enough. Your fight is over, but your courage and strength live on. I love you and thank you for teaching me so much. I think I speak for all of us when I say you will be dearly missed. Until we all are together again.. -Your Neice Stacey.
