My deepest condolences & prayers go out to the Brennan family.
If it wasnt for my godmother Joan I probably wouldn’t like baked beans, had Christmas In July every year, or worked at Christy Joy’s. My deepest sympathies to Gerard and family. May you all find peace and comfort in your memories of Joan.
