I miss Joan. She introduced me to her best friend's brother who became my husband for 53 years. David passed away last year so I am sure they will meet again. Maureen (Joan's baby sister) x

Very sad to hear of Aunt Joan's passing but know she will be happy to be with uncle Frank. Have happy memories as a child of them both. (Vera Ridleys daughter ) x

RIP Joan, you lived life to the full. I have fond memories of many fun filled, joke ridden times. Continue to party. Love ❤️

This donation is on behalf of the Ridley Family, sons ,daughters in laws and grandchildren here in Canada.

.....And is donated in memory of Joan and Sam (Frank and Joan's Collie) who comforted her and shared her chair which they both squeezed into.

At rest at last and reunited with Frank, Love June and family

I will always remember Joan for her jokes. She had such a wicked sense of humour and loved to pull a newspaper cutting of jokes from her handbag to share with us. I'm sure that her cheeky smile will be missed by all who knew her.

A Last Letter
Hi Joan,
I’d been well into my latest letter to you. It would have been all the usual stuff; the weather is getting warmer here, your Governments terrible (whose isn’t) , Lily and I are well , as are the extended family, and then some stories of the latest acheivements of the grandkids.
However before I got to mail it I heard of your passing.
Y’know I’ve been writing to you every month for a long time now after phoning every month for an even longer time. I used to write to Frank every month and when he died it just seemed natural to carry on regularly communicating with you. I do hope I haven’t been a nuisance. I sometimes figured when I called you may have been watching your favourite television programme but you never complained, although you did make me wait for ages while you searched for the remote to turn down the sound. I know I talked a lot and nagged you about your smoking, ‘not good for your health and it’ll stunt your growth’ , ha,ha. Whereupon you’d threaten to give me a punch on the nose for my cheek. Of course I was just hoping it was a pleasant interuption to your day and we’d have some chuckles.
So this is the last letter; thank you for being a wonderful sister in law, thank you for caring for my mother in her latter years, thank you for caring so much for my brother, and thank you for just being you. Lily and I and the boys are sure your happy now with Frank, together with all your friends who have moved on.
Love
Don and Lily

You WILL always be my Nanny Bricks. Gone but Never forgotten. Love you. Kx
