Seventy years fly by fast
Live in the present, not the past.
What’s your secret, we have to ask
Joan would say: “at everything you just laugh!”
Joan is a special gal –
A loyal friend through and through.
The world would be a better place
If this skill was one everybody knew.
Her circle has been busy and wide
Golf, curling, travel, bridge
But, if you need a friend
Joan is right there by your side.
She has tackled many sports,
Always showed up with a smile
If you need love and support,
Joan always goes the extra mile.
A kind word, a compliment, a laugh
She understands what’s on your mind.
She listens, has a thought, perhaps an idea new
Joan cares about each and everyone of you!
Happy birthday, dear Joan!
Thank you for being a good friend to all of us.
We are all better for knowing you and could learn from your example.
We have watched you approach life with compassion and intention putting others need first while making light of your own.
