I just recently heard the news of Joyce's passing and was very saddened by the news. Joyce was a cousin of my Mom's (Kay Holahan, nee Campbell) and my Aunt's (Louise Webster, nee Campbell) and on the occasion of their death's she reached out to me. I very much appreciated her doing so and we began a yearly exchange of cards at Christmas. This has been going on for many years (my Mom passed in 1992) and I will greatly miss our yearly exchange of news. My thoughts go out to her family at this difficult time.
To all Joyce's families. She has been a wonderful source of information, with a great memory for old times and good music that I am going to miss. Cherish all your times together. Very sorry that we will be unable to attend the service.
Sincerely Doug and Karen Martyn.
Shannon and Family,
I will miss Joyce - I enjoyed our chats when you ladies would come for your appointments,
She was a kind soul and will be missed.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers,

To the Courtney Family, we are so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mom. Joyce was a very special lady and we enjoyed our chats with her. We will forever remember seeing her sitting on her porch as we walked to the beach, and giving a wave as she toured Point Clark in her van.
