Our Chapter's First Leader and Founder

Our Dearest Joann

 Where do we begin?

 Your life was filled with so much joy, happiness, love, tragedy and sorrow. Through it all, your dignity and strong convictions allowed you to continue on in this world with such grace and compassion.

You chose a path dedicating your life to The Compassionate Friends, helping families through the unthinkable; the death of a child.

 Day in and day out you opened your heart; helping families whom otherwise would never have believed that they had the strength to continue after such tragedy and loss. Day or night you were always available to us and ready to listen. You are the person who always made us feel safe, loved and with whom we could always be honest.

Through you, many families are going on. Although we will never be the same, all of your love and support has encouraged us to live our lives as best we can.

Your hard work and dedication to The Compassionate Friends will not end here. It continues on through all of us who love and respect you. It will be hard without your love, strength, caring and support, but we will carry on as best as we can.

We will always love and miss you. Please watch over us and our families like you have always done.

God chose you and you did the job well.
