Our dear Aunty Joan, the last of a Cornish generation, sadly has now passed.
To our cousins Michael, Peter, Helen, Tricia and your families, our thoughts are with you all for losing such a beautiful mum. We will always have wonderful fond memories of Aunty Joan, Uncle Ray, Gael and you at Aspendale.
Sending our love and condolences.
Bruce, Ian, Alan and families
Auntie Joan…What a beautiful soul we had the privilege of knowing….the sweetest person…so loving…so generous.
We will always treasure our times in Aspendale….
We cry tears of sadness at the loss of our loved one….but the angels cry tears of joy that a soul has come home.
Love and peace to all the Cornish clan…
especially to Michael who has always been there to support his parents in the most devoted and loving way.
In our thoughts…
Ann and Dale.
Our Grandma, we already miss your gentle and loving nature, your incredible baking, and the stories you told us on repeat — the ones we loved so much because they made us all giggle, which made you smile from ear to ear right back at us. Your beautiful heart, the way you’d put your lippy on when we took you to dinner, and that impeccable wavy hair we all adored. You have been the most perfect Grandma, and we love you deeply.
Thank you, Mike, for spending decades and decades loving and caring for both your mum and your dad. Whenever we cheekily teased you, Grandma and Grandpa would fiercely defend you without hesitation — they truly loved you, and they loved living with you. Our deepest condolences to the rest of our Cornish family. We have the fondest memories of joining you while feeding the birds on your back porch, watching your face light up with pure joy. I hope you will go feed the beautiful birds in heaven now with Grandpa X
My deepest sympathy to Michael, Peter, Helen and Trish in the sad loss of your beautiful mother. Joan was always full of fun, joy and love and always made everyone feel special. Now in Gods care Rest In Peace dear Joan, love cousin Marie and family
