    Dear Uncle Eddie and all of my cousins
    I was saddened to hear about the passing of Aunt Joan and am wishing you all comfort at this very difficult time.
    I remember as a child being so excited whenever I could spend time at your house in Rexdale and of course much of that was because of the warmth of Aunt Joan!
    It was lovely to see the beautiful photo posted of her in her younger days.
    Much love
    Mary Margaret

    Dear Uncle Ed, Ted, Dianne, Mary-Jo, Cindy, Cathy, Joey, Rob, and family . Mary and I send our deepest condolences. So many family memories come to mind, especially Christmas Eve at grandma’s on Indian Road and your place in Rexdale, although I could never ride my bicycle that far from Jane & Annette. LOL. In the last few years I remember Aunt Joan’s brief and concise conversations on the phone (so different from the more ‘lengthy’ chats that the Dahonick family is renowned for !!!!), and her memory of those in old family photos we viewed one evening.
    Our memories will last forever.

    Norman and Mary

    Deepest and sincerest sympathy to you Ed and to all the family. We care about you all so much and you are truly in our prayers that GOD will uphold, comfort and strengthen at this time and in the days ahead. My (Cheryl’s) earliest memory of meeting Joan was such a delightful one when Dianne introduced me to you both in the lovely log home on Boiler Beach road you shared way back when. I could feel the warmth of welcome and the coziness Joan made for her family within the walls. A happy memory. Bill and Cheryl Subject

    Uncle Ed (my Godfather) and my 7 cousins, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I have fond memories of riding my bicycle
    from Martin Grove and Bloor to your house in Rexdale. I would arrive unannounced and Aunt Joan would always be happy to see me and would always provide me with a lunch prior to my bike ride home.

    Jim,Marnie and Family
