Everyone at VSBD is saddened to hear of the passing of our President, and life-long supporter, service-user and friend, Joan Milburn.
 
Joan was a tireless advocate for the VI community, a source of knowledge and wisdom to staff, volunteers and service-users alike, and will be sorely missed. Everyone at VSBD has their own, very fond, memories of Joan, and we are all better for having known her.
 
The thoughts of all of us are with Joan’s family and friends at this difficult time.
