Thinking of you all and sending love. Joan played such a big part in my life when she was my boss in Riversdale and I got to know all the family. She kindly let me and my family stay in the lovely cottage in Appledore when I was going through a difficult time. She was such a character and larger than life! The ex-practice managers and I often talk about her when we meet up. She made a huge impact on Riversdale during her time there and I’d like also to send condolences on their behalf. I’m unable to come to her funeral as will be in Portugal but I will be thinking about you all.
Lots of love, Liz (Riversdale) x
