We would like to extend our condolences to the Radich family in the sad loss of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Mrs Radich was a lovely lady with the most warm smile and was so kind. We received her prayer cards on more than one occasion which was truly appreciated. She lived a wonderful fulfilling life and will now be rewarded in Heaven. We watched her funeral mass online which was a very fitting tribute.

My condolences to the Radich family. I sang with Joan and her father in the church choir many years ago. Hanging around the church one Saturday morning I was asked by Ned if I would be one of the altarboys for their wedding which I accepted and received an envelope with 10 shillings in it.! May she rest in peace with Ned.

This morning I saw in the internet version of the Taranaki Daily News the death notice for Joan Mifanwy Radich.
To all her family and especially John whom I recall from those far off FDMC days I extend my sincere sympathy on the passing of a wonderfully generous woman.
With her death, the curtain comes down on so much of your own lives, leaving no doubt, happy memories of years that have passed all so quickly.
May the Good Lord welcome Joan home with outstretched arms, and now may she with Ned be forever at peace.
