TO MEMORY TIMELINE
Dear Joan, & family, we will miss seeing you every day. I wish I could talk to you more but couldn’t due to my deafness. I know I could book an interpreter to translate our conversations but I can see you are always surrounded by your family & friends so I was always comforted that you are Ok & seeing your friendly & kind face often I know we are connected in spiritual. I look forward to celebrate your life on Wednesday with interpreters. Love Karli and family, Simon, Bernhard, Magnus & Opal
