Dearest sister Joyce. Wish you could receive my message. I am making myself crazy wondering what happened in your final moments and if you suffered. Blaming myself for not being there to help you. I take a personal item to bed with me at nights to keep you close. My mind keeps running over our many phone conversations and the joys and trials and tribulations and everything we shared on the phone. Bob could not believe the amount of time we tied up the line. Will always remember you signing off with Love you Lizzie. My mind will not stop playing your voice - I keep getting a message from you 'Lizzie, don't cry for me, I'm OK now, not in pain'. Will never forget you, dearest sister.
I had the pleasure of recently meeting Joyce and helping her with some health issues. I found her a very warm, kind and thoughtful person who was so fond of her cats - I will miss our visits.
I am so very sorry to hear of Joyce's unexpected death. Our sympathy to all of her family and friends. When I think of earlier memories of Joyce I think of us all riding the bus to Kinloss Central School, and of several 4-H homemaking clubs together. It was great that we were able reconnect at reunions over the past few years. She was a very thoughtful kind woman and will be missed by many!
We will miss Joyce. Her positive and cheerful presence was valued by many of us here at Knox Waterloo Presbyterian Church. She cared for many people. Eternal Blessings be with you Joyce.
