I feel I lost an old friend today. There are a lot of my memories of us playing in the back yard, To me Joyce was the best friend mom had,Your mom took care of us kids, probobly for little money, but back them it was about family and taking care of each other.
Joyce and Bob will always be a part of my life, Their Childern also have been a part of my life We all grew up around each other allthough we grew apart over the years they have never left my mind or thoughts.

Sandy Lake MBBob, Kathy, Jenny, Gary, Betty — I was shocked to read of Joyce’s death I just recieved the holiday card this morning and was going to start a letter. She was such a special person I know we will all miss her. I remember so many things about her but most of all her smile – she always had it, ready to give it to anyone who needed it. Please, know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Belair ManitobaCondolences to the family. Joyce was a caring, kind hearted, selfless person. She always put others before herself. She was a true friend, I have known her for almost 44 years. I will miss her, even though we did not see each other often due to distance. She was always in my thoughts and prayers. I have great memories of our visits, telephone calls and the pictures she sent of her pride and joys (children, grandchildren and great grandchildren) over the years. Her family became mine and mine hers. What a legacy she left for her family. All my love, Heather.
