Readers will have seen the sad news last month about our churchwarden, Joan.
Our former vicar, Charles Masheder attended the funeral service and I asked him
if we could reproduce his Address.

His words are as follows:
It was a lovely occasion and there were about 120 people present and the
church was really full for Joan's service.
I read the Family Tribute and gave my Address. As far as my Address is
concerned, as always, I had virtually no notes but it was structured round four
aspect's of Joan's personality which I associated with four colours:

Green - the colour of new life and growth - her Faith and her prayer life and her
love of gardening.
Purple - associated with Lent and the sufferings of Christ - her wonderful resilience
and courage in her own sufferings.

Yellow - always bright and shining - her joy in life reflected in her singing, her
acting, her art etc.
Red - the colour of love - the warmth of her love for all people but particularly for
her family and most of all for Bob.
These are beautiful words, and so appropriate. The family tribute is overleaf.

JOAN BOOTH

The family of the late Joan Booth would like to thank all who joined us on the
occasion of her funeral. We are sorry we did not get to speak to many of you but
it was a great comfort for us to see the church so full.
We would also like to thank all those involved in the service, including the Rev.
Jenny who stepped in at short notice. We also thank Rev. Sandra who visited
Joan in her final days and has been very supportive of the family, particularly in
these last few weeks.
Thank you
Sara Ellis (eldest daughter of Joan)
