I have created this memorial as a tribute to my amazing sister Joanne. Even now, months after her passing, many people whos lives she inspired are still wishing to tell her friends and family how much she was loved and what a huge miss she is. After a life long battle with a severe genetic condition she sadly lost her fight but that fight lives on on in those who admired her courage and determination to make the very best out of a poor situation, and to 'suck it up' which was her favourite saying. Joanne had a habit of being able to put a positive twist on any situation and often left anyone complaining about small problems feeling completely humbled and from a personal point of view a little embarrassed! Joanne managed to end up with a masters degree, even though she initially had to fight to even be allowed to take GCSE's due to the fact she was in a wheelchair. She never gave up on anything she set her mind to achieve. Just weeks before her death she decided to take part in a charity midnight walk for St. Oswalds Hospice. After arguing with her until I was blue in the face that she didnt have to do it, I finally relented. She was going to attempt it no matter what. Joanne was the best sister and daughter anyone could ever have and she has made me the person I am today. She was a pure legend in my eyes and I will miss her more than anything. Keep me a seat at the disco in the sky Joanne and me, mam and dad will see you soon. Sam x

love Sam xxxx
