I grew up with  four Sisters as did Joan, but the loss must be much greater when you are a twin.  Condolences to Bill, Donny and Donna and their families as well as to Joan's Sisters and their families.  I recently had a short visit with Joan and we could have just spent the whole day talking and laughing about anything and everything.  Her Memory will last forever.   
Doreen & Don Roper (Denis's Sister)

You were our neighbors on Theodora Road, and many times as I walk by where you lived I think of the laughter that we shared with your Mom and Dad.  Memories.  Hold on to all those wonderful memories. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Aunty Joan, you were taken too soon and will be greatly missed. I remember laughing our heads off while smelling perfumes in the drug store trying to find ones we liked. I can still hear you whisper “pew” when you smelled one you didn’t like. Definitely won’t forget the onion kisses either as Dale mentioned. You were fun loving, giving, and most of all funny. Just seeing you laugh would make me laugh. Love and miss you lots. 

With broken hearts we will always miss you Aunty Joan. I will always cherish your laughter, loving kindness and acceptance. I learned to embrace silliness as one of life's most important lessons. Also that animals were our equals their love was to be respected and held closely to our hearts and they were to be smothered in Aunty Joan onion kisses forever.  You showed us all the spirits within our fur babies was something so very special. I will never forget you  Aunty Joan and I look forward to sharing that belly aching laughter with you for all eternity. Silliness will be my cheers to you as an ever lasting respect to your legacy.  Don't be afraid Aunty, play have fun and save a kiss for me xo

I was saddened to hear my cousin Joan (Fritz) Hobal had passed away.  Sincere condolences to her family.  Sandra (Fritz) Anderson
