Sad to see that Joan has passed away. We spent many years in the Tikorangi Drama group doing pantomime for the kids. Joan was our talented piano player and put up with all our hijinks with a laugh and a smile. I will miss your smiling face Joan. Rest easy. Condolences to Bruce and family from myself and Neil
