Joan De Pasquale was born in Halifax on March 15, 1937. She is much loved and will always be remembered by all her friends and family. Not a day goes by without me shedding a tear. When i lost my mom, I lost a huge piece of myself. Every day is a struggle without her. Ive lostmy purpose, my goal in life. Joan was a giving and selfless lady, who never thought about herself. She always had a smile on her face, and never let things get her down. She was the gentlest, kindest   lady, ive ever known, and I am still struggling to cope after 2 years. The fact that i know my mom is with me, gives mea  little peace, but i miss her warm hugs and kisses, every single day.
