Our Deepest Sympathy to you Paul and family. She was my weekday Mass friend and I will miss seeing her there, so much!

Dear Paul, Darcy, Margo and your families. Stuart and I are so very sorry for your loss. Joan was one of the kindest, most caring people I’ve had the priveledge to call a friend. Joan was very knowledgeable about so many topics and I always enjoyed our visits. There will be a huge void on our street.
Sunshine, rain or snow didn’t keep her from her daily walk. She worked hard all her life and never seemed to slow down. I hope knowing Joan is at peace, free from pain and with our Lord will somehow give you comfort. I believe you now have your own personal Guardian Angel.
Rest in Peace my friend, until we meet again.

Dear Martha, Paul and all families of Joan,

It is with sadness that I have read this obituary of Joan’s and her sudden passing. I remember Joan very well and would always say Hi to me when I came to visit in Zurich and we ran into each other – especially at Rader’s for the Saturday Music. Please accept my sincere condolences for this lovely woman.

Paul, Darcy, Lisa, and family, Margo, Micah, and family;

Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We were so fortune to have known Joan. She left us all with so many memories. Cherish them all.

An Angel

An angel lived among us,
A gift from God above.
She showered us with kindness
And shared with us her love.
She cherished every moment
With the man who was her life;
Walking hand in hand together,
Facing life with all its strife.
She loved her children dearly,
Each one a different way,
Nestled close within her heart.
Though, now, she’s far away.
She’s gone to live with Jesus.
But, she’s here with us, today,
Smiling down on every one of us,
And telling us she’s O.K.

Dear Margo and Joan’s entire family,

I am so heartbroken for your loss, and I offer you my deepest, most heartfelt sympathy and condolences during this difficult time.

As we all mourn the end of Joan’s time here in the physical world, and celebrate the impact she made in the world around her, I think of this poem by David Whyte:

“An elegy is always a conversation between grief and celebration: the grief of the loss of the person and the celebration that you were here at all to share the planet with them.”

Margo and all of Joan’s family and closest loved ones, you are front and centre in my heart, my soul, and my prayers.

All my love,
Brent

Paul…Darcy…Margo and families. We were so saddened to hear of Joan passing. She will be missed by all who new her. Such a gentle soul. Hold on to the memories. Hugs Bonnie &Wayne

Mary Ducharme

Our deepest condolences.

Paul and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. Always enjoyed our talks when we would see her out on her walks. She was a great lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. 💕🙏🏻

Celebrating joy is an antidote to feeling grief and before meeting Joan everything we had heard about her, and ourselves felt once in her presence, was a welcomed abundance of joy that now in her passing gives us much of the comfort we seek.
And, Margo, our daughter-in-law, easily and often shared how the contentment in her mother’s presence urged the longing to be nearer. And, what Margo knew and needed seemed like a common feeling from those fortunate enough to share even a small part of their lives with Joan.
So, even though our time with Joan was brief, still her warmth, affection and welcoming presence endures.
Celebrating a remarkable life of such a lovely woman who brought joy to those she loved and loved her in return, helps ease the grief as her life is mourned.

Paul,Darcy,Margot and families, I am very sorry to hear about Joan death my deepest sympathy to you all my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Paul ,Darcy, Margo and grandchildren so sorry to hear that Joan has passed away. Somehow she will help you get through this sad time with good memories of the past.

Paul, Darcy and Lisa, Margo, and Micah, and all of Joan’s family and friends;

My sincere condolences in the loss of Joan. I remember many pleasant interactions with Joan over the years. From my days filling her car with gas (Parkins & Erb garage) and time seeing her in our store (Heimrich’s Stationery & Gifts) in the late 70’s & 80’s to more recent times around Zurich and Exeter. Joan always had a smile for all. My Mom, Marilyn Heimrich, also sends her sympathy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mark (Julie) Heimrich & Marilyn Heimrich.
