A short tribute to My Honeybunch.
Yes, she was my Honeybunch and she loved when I called her that.  She was fun, she was kind, generous and loving. Despite her age, we would have a good chat on the phone, she had so many stories to tell and they were never boring, in fact, it was quite the opposite. And oh, how she loved dancing. Age was never her limitation. She would dance up a storm at gatherings or get together. She always brought light, love and laughter to these occasions.  
My Honeybunch had two titles Mom and Grandma and she rocked them both.
I know she was so highly thought of and loved not just by me, but by everyone in attendance today and those who knew her.  She will be missed dearly. Sleep on in eternal peace and rise in glory my dear Honeybunch.

Special, Special  thanks to our sister Glennis who took care of mommy,  otherwise to being her daughter she was also her care-giver. She ensured that mommy went to and kept her many doctors appointments, took her to clinic and was her faithful caregiver. She ensured that she took her medications on time and ate according to her diet plan. 
She gave up vacations and leisure times to ensure mommy was cared for. 

On behalf of the siblings, I say a heartfelt "THANK YOU" ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

I am writing on behalf of my brother Everton.  The two of them had a closeness based on love for each other. When daddy died he stopped working in the "BUSH" as he said he had to look after her. He kept his word, he honoured, respected and cherished our mother in words and actions. He was always there for her, always around when she needed him. His presence brought her comfort and joy. She was always wondering about him because he was not well and she wondered what would become of him.  I told her to rest assured he would be looked after and cared for.  Everton has always been a loving and caring person. Like our mother he gave love and concern so he would  definitely receive love and concern in return.

Our last days together was truly memorable, unforgettable and loving. I will forever cherish the tons of memories we shared. My mother was always there for us, a truly loving, caring and wonderful individual. She was a dependable people person to family and  friends.

In loving memory of Auntie Joan. Of all the special  gifts in life,however great or small to have known you is a gift we treasure.  No more tomorrow's we can share,but yesterdays  are all we have. Gone but not forgotten......From Roxanne, June,,Julian & Cherry children of her deceased friend , the late Elaine Gemma.Pile. Rest In Peace Auntie Joan

Aunty Joan was such a special person, and it’s hard to imagine life without her warmth, laughter, and love. She was more than just a mother/sister/aunt/friend. She was a light in our lives. I’ll always remember her for her kindness, strength, the way she made everyone feel welcome. She meant so much to all of us, and her memory will always live on in our hearts.

It is with great sadness that I write this note. 

My grandmother, you left us so suddenly that I am still in disbelief. You were a joy to have around— a decent, peaceful, and respectful woman in your lifetime. We shared many fond memories that will never be erased. Your legacy of care, concern, peace, giving, helping, and hard work will always remain with your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, siblings, friends, and all those who cared for you.

Rest in God's eternal peace, Granbo. 

I love you. 

See you in a while, crocodile!

  "JOAN WEEKES AKA GRANDBOW"
My condolences goes out to Janet, Reggie, Everton & Glennis also the Grandkids and Great Grand kids.. Ms. Joan, Mrs. Weekes, Grandbow your smile and laughter will always be left in my heart as a memory. That laughter cheered many hearts , her smile captivated individuals and made their day especially Ruchelle.  Ruchelle my Friend said "Chrystel  let me introduce you to my Grandmother-"GRANDBOW"!"  We were both on Vocation in Guyana and she became one of my favorite persons, immediately. I was always excited to have  brief conversations  with her which always left me with giggles throughout the day... (GRANDBOW LOVED HER GRAND-DAUGHTER RUCHELLE-ROTI) Many times she would say I am making some Roti for my Grandbow... May Grandbow Joan Sleep on in Christ Jesus .
