Barbara 27th September 2020

Dearest Joan, Thank you, for some of the most happiest times in my life, this past three years!! I’m so grateful for our dear friend Clodagh, for bringing us together!! From the moment we met, we hit it off, like we have known each other for years!! I became your cleaner and little did we know, how close we would become, as friends!! We have had many a great debates, about many topic, putting the world to right, sharing our sorrows, worries and anything, that was on our minds! But, most of all we have had a lot of laughter together and at times we were reduced to tears, generally over something quite silly! I’ll never forget you my dear friend, I miss you so very much and I’ll always hold you close to my heart!! Thank you for being you and bringing a new purpose to my life!! It was such a wonderful day on your 100th birthday in March. You looked so happy having your sons, family and friends around you and how marvellous it was to see your birthday day card, from HRH Queen Elizabeth. Such a lovely day, which will always be remembered with happy thoughts of you!! It had been so very hard not seeing you these past few months, knowing that your not far away, but circumstances beyond our control, kept us apart! But, you were always in my thoughts and my heart every day!! I am glad for you, that you are now resting in peace, with all your love ones around you, which is what you have longed for, for sometime now! I’ll never forget you, my dearest Joan, with much love to you from me, your friend Barbara
