Dear Ed and family. I woke this morning after having a lovely dream about two dear old friends; Joan and Nancy. This dream reminded me how time slips bye and that I should try to reach out. I am so sad that after searching the internet to find out that Joan had passed in 2015. Joan was an amazing and loving lady. When I moved to Ottawa at the young age of 20 (36 years ago), she took me under her wings. She was my mother bird, watching over me and helping me grow. I am so sorry that we had only exchanged Christmas cards over the years and that we had not spent more time together. It has been over 10 years since I last saw her (hockey game of my son's) and I remember her being as beautiful and sweet as always. My deepest condolences goes out to you and your family. God bless.

To Bev: My sympathies go out to you and all of Joan's family. As the shock wears off, the happy memories of her too-short lifetime will sustain you as you try to recover.

Dear Ed, to you and Joan's family my sincere condolence for your loss.

We were saddened to hear of Joan's passing at such a relatively early age. Our condolences to Joan's family and to Ed.

Dear Ed, Bev, Anne, Alwyn and Families - So sorry to hear about dear Joanie's passing. She was always so fun and interesting to talk to. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

We were all shocked and saddened to hear the news of Joan's sudden passing. Much too young for someone as full of life and laughter as Joan was. Please accept our sincerest condolences and the strength to see through this difficult time to Ed and family, and to Bev, Anne and Alwyn and their families. May she rest in peace.

Dear Ed, Anne, Bev & Alwyn & Family, We were so very sorry to hear of Joan's passing. It was much too soon. I have so many wonderful memories of Joan from my childhood in Lachute and through the years. I will miss hearing Joan greet me with the words "Hi Annie P, good to see you!". We will miss her caring ways and her great laugh. Ross and I were fortunate to share some time with her one evening last summer at Anne & Bob's cottage. Ed, Anne, Bev & Alwyn, our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Anne & Ross

Our thoughts are with Anne and Bob and all the family. You are in our hearts every day. Sending much love. Jack and Katie

Our deepest sympathy to your family on the sudden loss of Joan. Our thoughts are with you!

Joan was such a wonderful woman. Sarah and I both always enjoyed being around her as she was always full of life, and knew she was always good to share a laugh with. I always enjoyed catching up with her at the various family events over the years. She will be missed, our sincerest condolences.

Our sincere condolences Ed we are sorry to hear of your loss.

To the Joan Evans Family: My deepest sympathies in the passing of your dear wife & mother. I didn't know Joan but have heard so much about her from her sweet sister in law Lil. In fact Lil and I went to see the Jersey Boys last night and in memory of Joan we hooted and had a grand time in Joan's memory. Hoping that fond memories will keep Joan's life so very real to all of you. May the peace of God sustain you in this difficult time. Sincerely, Nancy Vitale
