"Thank you Joan for being a member of our Wednesday morning stitching group in Blenheim/Picton and I believe your were a founding member of this group which started many years ago down the Marlborough sounds. You were always so hospitable, capable and very talented. We all enjoyed your company. Rest in Peace my dear." Janet Armstrong
