~~ RIP Joanne (Ward) ~~~

You were a part of my life for too short a time, yet your courage, bravery and wicked sense of humour will remain in my heart for a lifetime.

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jo's family and those whose lives Jo touched.

RIP my friend, you are free as a bird now ... xxxxxxxx
