Wally, Kurt and Brad I am so sorry to hear this news. I was lucky enough to have crossed paths with Joan as a reliever and a parent at South New Brighton School. We were also fortunate to have her and Wally as neighbours for a brief time on Blake Street. She was always so kind, warm and thoughtful. Such a genuine and intelligent person. I am so saddened to hear this news. My thoughts are with all her family and friends.
