Z wielkim smutkiem przyjęłam wiadomość o śmierci Joycie. Znałam ją zaledwie kilka lat, był to wyłącznie kontakt telefoniczny i korespondencyjny. Ale w zupełności wystarczył by przekonać się jak wspaniałą, ciepłą osobą była Joycie. Bardzo żałuję,że nie dane mi było poznać ją osobiście - "śpieszmy się kochać ludzi, tak szybko odchodzą..." (ks. Jan Twardowski). Żałuję również, że tak późno się odnaleźliśmy... I'm writing in the Polish language, the mother tongue of Joycie's parents. It is much easier for me to express my feelings. - Posted by: Alicja Setzke (daughter of Josephine's cousin from Poland) on: Mar 12, 2013

Fond memories of Joyce. Over the years we had many visits, first met Joyce at her wedding to. Alvin. We have had lovely visits, either by phone, mail or in person and over the years attended many family special occasions. Love and condolences to the family. - Posted by: Shirley Michaluk (Cousin to Alvin,her late husband ) on: Mar 11, 2013

Two families not related through blood however bonded through friendship over three generations. We've always thought of our families as if we were related. When my mom passed away. I felt so comforted to know Aunt Joyce was still here.. Over the years, she always thought of my kids and sent bday and Xmas cards because what she told me was that's what your mom would do. She stepped in and I enjoyed our conversations of them growing up. The respect and friendship my mom and she had for each other has been one of the biggest and best lessons of my life. Treat others how you would want to be treated and no matter what, you are always there for your families, to support, to listen, and to love them unconditionally. I am so happy I got to see aunt Joyce last year when I was visiting Winnipeg. You were always a priority, and it truly breaks my heart that I can't be there for the funeral. The Lawless family will be sending some balloons to heaven as we do this for my mom. Her memories will be carried on and I'm sure Val and Joyce are sitting on a cloud looking down and protecting our families, as that's what mothers and godmothers do. Big hugs to all of you!

I still remember going to Winnipeg beach. Rich Donna Deb and me would be swimming and my mom and yours would be playing Bingo on the strip. Also my mom told me a story of the 2 of them that one day they bought a cake from Jeannies. It was no bodies birthday so it read happy birthday MOM. The 2 of them sat down one morning and ate the whole cake. It usually feed 15 people. - Posted by: Mike Gilchrist (family friend) on: Mar 10, 2013

A shining light and bright smile will be missing at all of our future family celebrations. A generous, thoughtful, gentle mother to Donna and Richard. The phone lines will be quieter now that she is not with us any longer! Our condolences and prayers from Anne, Gerry, and Aaron. - Posted by: Anne Wolkenstein-Geall (Sister-in-law to daughter, Donna) on: Mar 09, 2013
