My thoughts are with you in this very difficult time. Aunt Joan always welcomed me into the house telling me to come up from the landing and have a seat. However, never drive on the grass -lol. Often wonder how many lawnmowers she went through.
As long as the grass is green she never be forgotten.
Love all

While we cannot take away your pain, may it help you all to know that friends are sharing in your sorrow. The heart is never ready to say goodbye. May you find comfort knowing that you will see each other again. Rest in peace Joan.

For many years we have enjoyed the company of the Kelly family. From babysitting Pat and Bill, to having Lee Anne babysit our kids. Many hours have been spent talking to Joan. These past few years have been hard to watch this spunky lady go downhill. I know she is now in a better place watching over you all.

Adrienne Dandy
Uncle Mike, Pat, Bill, Lee Anne, Tammy, Pierre and your families
All my thoughts and prayers are with you. Some of my earliest memories are of visiting your home when I was at Grandma K’s. I remember how Aunt Joan always warmly welcomed all the cousins, but always had exactly the right amount of not-putting-up-with-any-nonsense (which was absolutely needed as we all ran wild over the farm). She’ll be missed by so many.
All my love,
Adrienne

Mike and Family,
I am so so sorry to hear of your loss of Joan. My Mom and Dad, Les and Maxine Parnall, left us with lots of fond memories spending time with Joan and yourself. If it wasn’t at the arena, it may have been at the Lucan Hotel after a hockey game. it may have been around a table playing cards or around tax time when my Mom would spend hours getting things sorted out for you. I know my brother Bruce and his wife Donna also shared some memorable times with you both.
May you all hold on to your lovely memories at this sad time and be thankful for such a sweet lady being part of your lives. May God welcome her with open arms and know in your hearts, she is now your Angel, watching over all of you always.
Brenda (Parnall) & John Montpetit
