In lieu of flowers, in her own words here are Joan’s wishes:

The End – The Beginning by Joan Carroll

I was born, I lived my life.

When I die send no flowers I can neither tend nor see,

But kiss one another, plant a tree and think of me;

Revel at my wake

And know that when you are through, I reveled with you.

Laugh and cry, alone, together, With one another.

I have loved you so, I hope you know…
