Till Death Us Do Part

Our dear Joan passed away at 6.30pm local time here in Western Australia.

Her last hours were peaceful. If there is a Heaven, she will be going there.

Hello
We will miss her terribly but I'm glad that Joan's passing was peaceful. She really didn't want to leave you did she!
Praying for your peace and comfort. You have been amazing through all of this.

I am very sad but glad that Joan's suffering is over. I am sure she is in a better place. We will all miss her terribly but she has left us with many wonderful memories and a great role model for creativity, bravery and enjoyment of life.
Don't forget to take care of yourself Kev.
Love and hugs

I am sorry for your loss Kev. I am thankful that Joan is no longer suffering, it is comforting to know her last hours were peaceful.
May your wonderful years together and the beautiful memories help you through your grief. Focus on those years Kev not the past year filled with illness. Joan was so much more than that. Always in my heart and prayers.......:-(

So sorry for your loss- as others have said she was a delightful and creative woman who cared about her family and others and leaves behind so much more than this last year of illness. Strength and hugs for all your family at this very difficult time.

SO sad to hear your news, Kev.

As other posters have said, you have been a wonderful and caring husband.

Just hope you can continue on with your work of providing computers and keyboards to less fortunate members of your WA community.

Dear Kev,

I can't wait to share a glass of champers with her.

Kev you have been a rock for Joan.

Kev - we all live on through the love and memories that that are from those who are are close to us. I am so glad our paths crossed again - the stoicism and fortitude that you and Joan displayed touched us in dealing with our situation. Be assured that in celebrating Joan's life our thoughts are out there to sustain you then and in the days ahead. Marilyn and Jim
