Tributes

Shocked to see you had gone sweet Joan . I never thought you would leave. You were so full of life. Devonport will never be the same. :( Your smile , laughter and happiness filled every room. The op shop will be empty and sad without your friendly warm welcome. I will miss you forever. I love you and thank you for always giving me your time and warm welcome and laughter. An enotmous loss to everyone who was lucky enough to know you... XXX
