My Aunt Joan was a saint. To say she was kind and generous would be insulting. She was the nicest of people you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. She was already so happy to see us, and always made us feel welcomed.
I’m so happy for dad, mom, Nana, and Grandad that they get her back! Xoxo

To The McCumber Family...
My sincere sympathy on the death of your mother. She really did have a wonderful and fulfilling life. There are many memories over the years that come with living as neighbours for so long. I'm sure it was difficult for the family but it was a true sign of strength and determination that she was able to stay in her own home for as long as she was able. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family and always cherish the memories.
Love............ John Shea

Dawn we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. Her and your dad and all of you were the best neighbors any family could have. She was always smiling and shared the best stories. We are going to miss her very much. Always remembered your mom and dad putting up the birthday flag for all your birthdays and even for all of our birthdays. It was such a thoughtful thing to do and meant so much to us all. We will miss her dearly. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love from your former neighbors, Donald Morrell and family. Xoxo

So sorry to read of the loss of your Mom. I enjoyed her sweet company over the years of singing trips. She could tell stories of my Dad with whom she attended Sunday School in Long Reach. She is and will always be treasured!!

I want to share what a lovely warm lady Joan has been to me Even when her granddaughter Sarah and I just started dating she welcomed me Into the family with open arms and a warm smile. From the start she was kind and treated me like one of her own, greatly reminding me of my own grandmother's. She will be missed and I am so glad that she was able to meet her great granddaughter Cassandra and devour a whole watermelon between the two of them.

John, Lavonne, Eric, Lea, Dawn & families,
We are saddened to read of our lifelong neighbour Joan’s passing, the last of that generation.
So many memories of growing up next door, 9 kids between the 2 houses, playing outside until sundown, the special birthday coin cakes, seeing the Calais deals she snagged, our parents waving to each other Christmas Eve after all toys in place before heading to bed. Our sincere sympathy to you all.
Love, Pat & Suzanne

To all the McCumbers…..especially Dawn…..I am thinking of you. I have so many warm memories and keen reflections regarding my “Mum”. I shall miss her and can only hope to carry some of her positive energy forward each day of my life. When I first started visiting 707 Manawagonish Road I remember a box of odd clothing Mum kept by the door. Many Barnhill Memorial Students felt the luxury of going to borrow gym shorts, tee shirts, or just scarves and hats in the winter. When I stayed over night I often woke to find my mittens darned or my coat zipper repaired and I never left without some sort of food item. In our teen years Mum had a coin purse she kept tucked in her sweater pocket from which she could always produce enough cash for Dawn and I to have Millers chips and gravy on a cold school day lunch hour. Mum only grew more and more in my heart over the years and she become my confident, my advisor and my friend. She had such wonderful stories to share. On one occasion I called to tell her how a tour of the MacAdam Train station had been so interesting. She had an interesting story of her own, how she and Baby John were stranded there when a trip to visit Mac was stalled by a train being derailed further up the line. She told me how the waitresses had all helped her getting milk, diapers, etc and John became the official Mascot. Sometimes we forget the elderly were once young, full of opinions and dream and have a life time of adventures.
My life has been blessed by knowing and loving Joan McCumber. Thank you for making me feel like part of your family.
Mum loved flowers of all description. She loved to see pictures of my flower garden. This photo is for you Mum.
