A happy girl and so friendly, smiling and laughing throughout her life from being a toddler. Her bubbly laughter, caring and thoughtfulness for others brought so much joy to me and those whose lives she touched.

The memory of how caring and thoughtful she was with people outside the family home only came to me after her death. I was so proud to hear how she used to put cards through letterboxes when she hadn’t seen friends and colleagues for a while just asking how they were.

A successful, talented hair stylist and very popular with clients and staff.

A generous girl with very little money when she had ME towards the end of her life, not working and on benefits. She insisted on buying Birthday/Christmas presents for people and got into debt. Her kindness and thoughtfulness to others was so important to her, which is a great comfort to me now without her.

Joanne was a constant worry for me as she always saw only the good in people and never suspected a bad person.
