JOAN ROSLYN BINKLEY March 13, 1925 August 20, 2009 A year has now passed since we lost our dear Joannie and it still (and will forever) seem impossible that so bright a light no longer shines. Forever young and full of the possibilities of life, she brought so much happiness into the lives of everyone she touched and left such joy and hope in her wake. How poorer we are without you, and yet how infinitely richer our lives are for having known you. - With all the love in the world, from daughter Laura, her many dear nieces and nephews, sister Doreen and brother Alan. Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind William Wordsworth, Ode, Intimations of Immortality.
