Condolence: Mom, you were the best, you were always there when I needed you, always ready to go that extra mile so I could have something I needed, a ride somewhere, your last $5. I could go on and on with a list of sacrifices you made so I could grow up to be me. I tried to make you proud of me, I think most times I succeeded, I know I disappointed sometimes too, but you were always there for me anyway. I love you Mom, now and always. Gord

Condolence: My condolences to Phil and the family, Joan was a great person, my sister and I had her as a bus driver and she was awesome, one of the best bus drivers i knew. R.I.P. Joan. From me and my family, The Cooks.

Condolence: My deepest sympathies to Phil and his families. May the Lord be with you all during this difficult time. "The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around, reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace that Joan has finally found." May God bless you all.

Condolence: Phil and Family My deepest sympathies to you all. My memories of Joan are special to me. We didn't see each other often but our phone conversations kept both of us laughing and up to date. I will miss those times. She was a special lady and I loved her dearly.

Condolence: We were very sad to hear of Joan's passing. She was a good friend and will be missed. Our sincere condolences go out to Phil and all the family

Condolence: To Phil and family: It was heartbreaking when I heard the news about my sister's passing. We did not see much of other after you moved to Havelock , but the love was still there. We were very close growing up and spent many hours playing with our china tea set serving each other tea and cookies. Your tea was always better than mine. Wonder what happened to the tea set? We both had families who we were very proud of. Love you and will never forget you. God Bless. Betty

Condolence: I have so many wonderful memories of my Aunt Joan, having sleep overs at "Gordies" before we spent our $5.00 at the CNE. I won't tell you about the time she washed my mouth out with soap. No really she did.

Condolence: I was saddened to hear of Joan's passing, please accept my deepest condolences. Ellen from Ottawa

Condolence: Sometimes, I come to this page to leave a message and know exactly what I want to say. I don't with your Mom. Being around Joan made her presence even stronger than what you could see and hear. She radiated warmth and that smile drew people in to her. You would have a hard time finding a person from Havelock that does not have a happy memory or a funny story to share about her. Your loss is Havelock's loss. I extend my deepest sympathies to the Babcock/Yates family, the hockey community and the students she bussed safely to school every day. May your lifetimes of happy memories get you through this difficult time. Maureen, Bill, Cec and Audrey Carl & families
