It happened that I got on the same WheelTrans Joan was on the same day they'd told her how long they estimated she had. Knowing I have cancer, we were able to share very openly and we prayed for the best. Our destination was a consultation regarding disabilities and I will always remember Joan's undaunted determination that day as she continued to be a strong advocate for seniors and disabled living in Toronto Community Housing. We feel the loss of this warrior for human rights and dignity.
