My mother May is Joan's sister, and friend. Joan and May exchanged letters often, or spoke over the phone for ages, this is how we got to know the great family Parke. My sister and I visited Canada back in the eighties, as did Mum and Dad at a different period we managed to drop in on my Aunty Joan and some of our most excellent cousins. I wish to say I feel privileged to have met one of the greatest moms Winnipeg has known, a huge loss to family, and friends. May memories of Joan live on. - Posted by: Jan Mikosek (Nephew) on: Nov 20, 2015
