May her soul rest in peace
May her soul rest in peace
My earliest memories of Joan, was when she returned from boarding school for the holidays. The rest of us, were in the age group of 4 to 8 years. We would wait expectantly in the front yard of the house for her to arrive. It was a day of happiness when our big sister came home
Today is another sad day in my life, I lost my mother in 84 and now my big sister Joan ( Toto) .Our family will miss her so much, as will the rest of her relatives and numerous friends. But the great memories she left us with will endure till the end of our lives. Our family could go on and on about how she lifted us up, when we were down. She was always willing to help, even though the person desiring help was an acquaintance. Each and every one of us grieves the loss of Joan today, but as time passes, it will fade but will never be forgotten. Our family are all so lucky to have had a sister like Joan and our lives are richer and fuller because of her. The linchpin of our family has gone away from us, and we mourn her loss.
Each and every one of us grieves Joan’s absence from our lives. She has left a void, that can never be filled. Joan has enriched the lives of our family and made us the better people. I am going to miss our weekly chats, especially on the topic of food, but they will not be forgotten
Rest in Peace, my big sister Joan
It is difficult to say goodbye to a vibrant person like Joan Rex (lovingly known to everyone in the family as Toto). We (Eustace, Nirmala & Rebecca) will always remember Toto for her kindness and generosity, especially when we first came to Canada. Another one of Toto's great qualities that lives on, in our memory was her ability to talk about anything - she had a vast wealth of knowledge. We will not only miss her stories, but the way in which she related them which always brought joy and laughter. It is truly heartbreaking to note that Joan was taken away from us so suddenly. Thank you, Toto, for all the help and knowledge you had given us over the years. We have some wonderful memories of you that we will always cherish. Rest in Peace dear Toto.
Our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with John during this difficult time. We have made a donation to "Cats Anonymous" in memory of Joan.
Rest In Peace our sweet Joan, we will always love you. You were very inspiring, charismatic and magnet for all, everyone loved your company. Very sorry tha we didn’t get to have our long planned bbq this summer.
I will miss you Joan. You will always be in my heart.
