Condolence: so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I worked at Highland Manor when Neil was a resident and loved talking to Mrs. McAuley when she came into the home. My condolences to you all. God Bless.

Condolence: I am so sorry, Katrina, Al, and to all the other members of your family, to learn of your mother's passing. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing her, but I do know that much of your passion for all things, including teaching and family, came from your mom and dad. We all share your pain and hope that you will find comfort in the memories that you cherish.

Condolence: I have such wonderful memories of Joan. She was a sweet, lovely, beautiful person and I always enjoyed our friendly conversations. Joan always made me feel like a somebody! Neil did too. Joan, may your family be warmed and comforted by their lasting memories of you and may you rest in peace.....

Condolence: Joan had a sweet, gentle way about her and a welcoming smile. It was a pleasure to see her and Neil visiting and sharing coffee.May your memories be a comfort and keep her close to you.

Condolence: I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom was an amazing woman with a beautiful smile and a zest for life! She had a wonderful sense of humour and was so very kind. Please know that we are thinking of you and sending all our hugs your way at this very difficult time. We love you all! XO

Condolence: I had the very great pleasure to be part of the cast, way back in 1992 for the Elora Community Theatre play "He won't come in from the barn" which starred Joan as the farmer's ( Morley Trask ) wife. This play was attended by over 3000 people who came for the hijinx and a beautiful duet with Joan and Morley. We became super friends each evening and continued to share special smiles each time our paths crossed in future years. Joan was the kindest gentlest person in my meet and greet book.

Condolence: First time I met your mom ............It was a full room,at the Fergus Sports Plex and this poised woman stood in the centre of the hall and sang , Danny Boy, .with her whole heart ,..........not another voice was heard in the room ,so beautiful....so touching......

My llove , energy, and thoughts are with you ,Al , Jason ,Robertta, Quest and the girls at this sad time...

Love and strength
Laurie and Don
