Joan touched me deeply through her humor, kindness and unconditional love. She taught me how to stand tall. I will miss her.
My condolences to all of you. My family knew the Sullivans when they had Sullivan's Camps on Clearwater Lake, in the '30s. I donated a Sullivan Family Picture, from that time, to the Museum in Barwick; none of the kids had married yet. My Mum was great friends with Kathleen Robertson Smith; find Kay's Ham Ball recipe on Farm Fresh Feasts, my daughter's food blog. You all have fantastic ancestors and wonderful stories to remember. Bless you all.
My best friend at Fort Frances High School! I miss you, Joan.
So sorry for your loss. May you all be comforted at this time..
Sad to hear about Joan's passing. I feel so fortunate to have known her, Gene and each of you. She was truly unique and wonderful in every respect. I pray for your comfort and peace. I had the chance to see her while she was in Utah for some testing recently. We talked and embraced. It was a special day for me.
Everytime I think of my grandma joan I think of how im named after her. How much she carried for all of us grand children and her own children. I still remember the time she pushed me into her pool in payson all because i gave her attued and I was upset then but now I laugh about it now. She has tought me a lot of things growing up that will never leave my thoughts like how to knit and sew,and how not to judge people for who they are and what they do we are all just humans and we all make mistakes. I love you grandma tell we see you agen on the other side.
