I was a friend of Joan for some years, I serviced her computer for her and we had some interesting chats about all kinds of things. So I was extremely sorry to find out just recently that she had passed away. I had a printer of her which I said I would sell for her I received payment and tried phoning her on her mobile and texting. I became aware that she had passed away while on Facebook.

Remembering 63 year of love and laughter with my dear friend. Will miss our weekly telephone chats so much especially when Strictly returns. I cannot be there to say goodbye but will be thinking of you and of Nick and his family.
God bless you.
