Joan Clarke
A Sister Just Like You
I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly
The many things you’ve done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep inside
How much you really care
Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a Sister just like you
I love you Joan

Thank you everyone this has been the hardest time of my life and with a fantastic bunch of people here at WC I just cant thank you all enough I still have no real news to let you know how Joan is all that I do Know is that she is well as can be expected and the time limit is short.

I am so sorry you have to face this horrable grief with your sister. Family is so important, my heart and prayers are with you both, and her children. I pray God give you and her peace and that she knows Jesus as her savior. May God bless you both with the peace that surpassed all understanding! Many blessings!

Shaunna...take some screen shots of the thread. No telling if there'll be access to the net where she is, and it'd be a shame to drag the laptop all that way for nothing.

Oh, I couldn't imagine going through what you are going through right now, Shauna. I haven't lost someone close to me for many many years and never through a long illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sister and the rest of your family.

Its been over 12months since the devastating news of my sister Joan, she is still holding strong and while we were given a time line things do look better, I mean she may never improve and it may only be a day by day thing but every day is a blessing to have her with us..... I LOVE YOU MY SISTER. can I just say again thank you to you all for your thoughts and prayers, and kind words of support it means so much to us

for sure my Nephew rang to say that Joan and her Husband will be going to Perth Western Australia sometime soon and hopes that she will be able to travel the distance. as its a long flight from Tasmania to Western Australia its about 3 to 4 hour flight roughly .
