9. Joan was my Mothers best friend from 1982 to 1992.
   After Mum died she was just so good to David my Down’s syndrome brother.
   He called her his girlfriend!
   After he went into care at Dean Court,she was wonderful taking him out for a time to see her boys, and other friends.
   When I was away having a break,she always made sure that she took him to Church at Wesley on the Sunday.
   I also have happy memories of her and Keith going to Scots Presbyterian Church,when they started attending there.
   Condolences to all the family.
   Rose M Black.
   Formerly from Irrewillipe,Colac,and now settled with family at Phillip Island.
