Joan Helen Stephens

The stories she shared, the lessons she taught, and the quiet strength she carried through life are things I will hold onto forever.Her love for her family was unwavering. She adored her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her great-great-grandson Hugo, and nothing meant more to her than being surrounded by those she loved.I will always feel so honoured to have been her “Krissy” and to call her my Nan. She was loyal, gentle, and selfless, the kind of person who would go to the ends of the earth for her family without ever asking for anything in return.She faced life with strength and without complaint, right until the end.As I held your hand and said goodbye, a piece of my heart went with you, Nan. A link in our family has been broken, but the love you gave will always hold us together.Cancer is a cruel disease.Rest peacefully, Nan ?
