Tribute from Jennifer Gibson –

Very sorry to hear Joan has passed away, a caring lady. Please accept my sympathy from Jenni Gibson. I spoke to Joan at Donalds funeral and she kindly asked me about my father Denness Gilbert and Uncle Colin Gilbert (sons of Isabel nee Hutchinson). They moved from Havelock to Wellington about 1935 – Joan was still interested!

Tribute from Daphne Brown –
