We are thankful for the happiness & love that Aunt Joan brought to our entire family when she and Uncle Roy were married. Her willingness & dedication shone & helped us through some our most difficult family challenges & losses. We will always remember the only time she hesitated - We had travelled from BC to MB to attend some meetings in Wpg. & before leaving the city, we dropped in unannounced for a visit. Uncle Roy was in the shop pretending he didn't see or hear us & Aunt Joan was a very long time coming to the door. Both of them had seen us arrive & they thought we were Jehova's Witnesses. They did eventually figure out who we were & invited us inside for an enjoyable visit. With Aunt Joan's passing she leaves a big hole in our family. With Love & Sympathy from, Dennis & Linda Farmington, BC - Posted by: Dennis & Linda (nee Wiklund) O'Reilly (Niece & nephew) on: Apr 25, 2013
