I will always remember Aunt Joan as full of life, fun and smiles. She was interested in everything you were doing in your own life.....a very kind and beautiful person. I will also always remember time as a child at Ralph and Joan's visiting with them over a weekend and having tons of fun...always a party going on. She will be sorely missed especially by her dear family and by all of us who knew and loved her.

I will always remember the excited smile and upbeat disposition of this truly happy Lady. We were very lucky to have a neighbour like Joan and the Emerson family for many great years on Stevenharris Drive. Heaven has experienced a moving of the needle as the gregarious Joan is now in the House. As I write this, I am reflecting on the uplifting of spirits as I remember her many waves from the window when I walked by, also with a friendly wave. I wave to you now Joan as I join you and your family in rejoicing a life well lived. Say hello to Susan for me. Until we meet again. Mike.
