Joan and I first met at Grieve Diamond Jeweller in Hastings, where we worked together for 3 years. We instantly connected and have always had a special bond and stayed in contact. She has always been one of the most special people in my life because she felt like a mother figure to me. One day a customer at work asked her if I was her daughter and she said, “No, but I wish she was”. And I will never forget that because it meant so much to me, as I have never had a good relationship with my own mum, and have always longed for that special mother daughter relationship that girls have with their mums, and that’s why Joan was so special to me. I feel so lucky to have had Joan in my life and I really hope she knew just how much of an impact she had on my life and how much I loved her. I am so heartbroken that I never got to say good bye to her and wish I could give her just one last hug. Thank you for always being there for me Joan and for being the most beautiful person I know. I will never forget you and I hope we meet again one day xxxxxxxxx
