Joan, Your guidance to me in the early stages of my work as a Counsellor at Emily Stowe changed my life. Thank you for being in my life. Love always Jasteena
My deepest condolences to the family.
I am honoured to have met and know Joan and her loving /supportive family.
May God grant you all peace as you celebrate the life of a Legend.
May her soul rest in peace.
A brilliant star still shines in all of us. We will miss you dearly.
Good night a great woman!
I met Joan at Emily Stowe Shelter for Assaulted Women and Children (now Dr. Roz's Healing Place) back in the late 80s. I always tell people she paved the way for me in the field. She was not just a colleague, she was a strong supporter and mentor to all of us especially the young ones who were new in the field of women's movement. May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Joan's children and family are blessed to have had such a woman with great strength, passion, compassion and full of wisdom. Please accept my sincere condolences. May the memories and great time you spent with her continue to strengthen you.
