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
