My best friend Joanna Canlin, was born with a hole in her heart.
We grew up together as next door neighbours in reading.
Then she moved to a different area and i used to go and visit her at her new house at the weekends.
i went to visit my best friend on the saturday and on the monday my mum got a phone call from joanna's mum to say Jo as i used to call her had collapsed in the school playgroud due to the hole in her heart and died shortly afterwards.
She was 8 years old.
I remember her funeral even though i was so young, i stood at the back with my mum, i cryed my eyes out until there was no more tears to give. my best friend had gone forever.
Im just glad i can do this for her now im older and people can keep her memory alive.
still thinking of you to this day.
R.I.P. JO. X X X
feel free to light a candle for jo or leave her a poem or tribute. x
I was playing in the playground on that day, chasing another boy around, we saw a large group of children gather to the area of the playground, but me and my friend never went there, it wasn't that long later though that we had heard what had happened.
I didn't know Joanna very well, we had a few exchanges from what I can remember and she did seem to be a lovely girl, I had not known about her condition though until today, reading an article on Coley Park Primary for it's closure.
I would like to wish the best for the spirit of Joanna, as well as Steven Sandon as well who passed one year later, scarily similar to Joanna, he is buried very close to where my grandmother is.
