Condolences & Memories (4 entries)
-
I remember meeting Joy at James family gatherings throughout my childhood and adult years (reunions, retirements, life celebrations and baby showers). She was always so warm and welcoming to me, and I remember my mother Trudé having a big soft-spot for her. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to spend more time with Joy and Dick over the years but I moved away. I will always remember Joy for her great capacity for kindness, curiosity, and love for family. My Condolences go to Dick and all the family and grandkids at this sad time. Pauline, James Curtis, Victoria BC. - Posted by: Pauline James Curtis (Cousin) on: Jul 19, 2025
