5. Aunty Joan, you were so admired for being such a hard working and stoical lady. But also you had this incredibly detailed memory for the family and relationships of our ancestors which went such a long way to helping us build the story of the Reade ancestry.

   Your memories will live on forever.

   Christine. Xx

   Niece and daughter of Joan’s sister, Gaby.
