    I was so deeply saddened to hear of Joan’s passing. My heart goes out especially to you, Edel and Breda, and to all who loved her so dearly.
    Joan was such a huge part of my childhood, and I will always carry those memories with me. There was something truly special about her—her smile could light up a room, and her laugh was so full of joy that it lifted everyone around her; she had a way of bringing happiness so naturally.
    Thinking of you all at this incredibly difficult time, and sending love and strength your way.
    May Joan now rest in peace.
