I will miss you Auntie Tum. I will never forget the last time that you talked to me, it was when I was a young teenager you told me how handsome I was. You were so kind and thoughtful. I’ll never forget your smile. Until one day when I join you in heaven, I love and miss you, your nephew.
On behalf of Highline High School Class of 1977, our thoughts and prayers go out to Joan’s family.
I remember you all the way from elementary school through high school. I’ll always remember your friendly smile and I will miss you! Rest in Peace Joan!
Hello, Feel free to message me on facebook if anyone has a kind anecdote about my mother. Her illness, and subsequent years of prolonged struggle with MS, occurred whilst I was very young and I, unfortunately, never came to know her. This served to create a critical hole in my life, which I am trying to heal every day. Any positivity is helpful.
