Good bye Auntie Joan, that's what we called you when we were kids. You put plasters on our scrapped knees and gave us drinks when we were playing outside and thirsty. One of my mums best friends for all those years, at 75 Sancroft Road. Andrew Ward Waxhaw North Carolina USA

So many wonderful memories of my own from childhood holidays we all went on to the stories my mum and Auntie Joan told us of their growing up together. Rest in peace Love Jo Trafford.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joan. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
