Wenna - I was saddened to hear of Joanne's sudden passing. All I can say is, she was where she loved to be - at the cottage, and Ih ope this gives you some comfort. She did not have a lingering illness, and we are all grateful. Growing older is not easy, and she was able to maintain her home and cottage right to the end. I have so many memories of our growing up together in Montreal. She was on Victoria and Shirley Midgley and I were on Grosvenor. Especially I remember the winter we all went to dancing classes at Miss Edward's School of Deportment and Dance!!!!!! I haven't seen her much in recent years as my husband is no longer able to travel, and we no longer go through Perth to visit our son in Calabogie. However we always corresponded at Christmas time. My thoughts and praers are with you and Jonathon at this difficult time.
