To Joan’s family,
Very sorry to hear of your loss. Joan was a VERY sweet woman.
She had a big heart and cared deeply for her family. She had such strong will and was a real fighter.
We will all miss her presence in our days. She’s left a great impression and made a difference in many lives.

Our sincerest condolences on the passing of your Mother.
It seems that the Town of Mono is gradually losing all of its senior people within a very short few years.

My condolences to all of Joan’s family. What an amazing, interesting, lovely woman Joan was. Joan’s sense of humour had me laughing often durning our visits. Joan was more then a client to me she quickly became a true friend whom I cared greatly for. I looked very forward to seeing her weekly and hearing about her family, bingo and coffee with her friends. I do not have to tell you how special Joan was but she was very special and adored her family and was very proud of all of them. To her children Joan spoke so highly of all you I feel like I know everyone of you personally what an beautiful mom she was. I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss I too will miss Joan deeply.It was an honor to have met, cared and shared moment with Joan Nevills.

I was saddened to hear of Joan’s death.My thoughts and prayers go out to the Nevill’s family during this difficult time.There is no doubt that Joan was a very special lady and will be sadly missed by her freinds and family. I remember plenty of happy memories as a child spending endless hours at the Nevill’s home, Joan always made me feel welcome and I will be for ever grateful for that. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences.

I was sad when I read about Joan’s death. I’m sure she will be greatly missed by all of you but as well by many who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a terrific lady with many altrustic qualities. I’ve always had lots of fond memories from when we use to work together at the restaurant back in the 60’s and early 70’s. She treated me as her own and I never got off the hook with anything. And, talk about an admirable cook! She was the best.
We can all look back at some great memories and I will prayer for a peaceful 2013 for each of you.
Joan
