I’m very sorry to hear about Joyce, my condolences go out to her family and friends. She was always entertaining and a bright spot in the day when you met her. There are people you meet during your life which trigger good memories and she was definitely one at the top of the list.
Safe journey Joyce – I will miss your laughter, and your enthusiasm for life. I loved how you could NEVER walk past a baby without stopping to coo, or ask if you could pick it up. You are a very special lady, not “just” a woman, a LADY! I will miss you.
Becky, Andrew, Katie and I extend our sincere condolences to Ken and the family. Joyce was a true character, a bundle of energy and a joy to be with. She is gone far too soon but not without I fight! What a great woman.
Joyce was a vibrant lady full of life and laughter. We always had a blast at family gatherings, Joycie we will miss you.
I only knew you for 10 years. What started out to be just exercise buddies, turned out to be a wonderful friendship. You are one in a million and I will miss your smile and laugh so much. You’re at peace now. My sincere condolences Ken and family.
Ken, my deepest condolances. Although I only met Joyce a few times when we would bump into the two of you at a mall etc,I could tell how dear you were to each other.
Joyce Was a wonderful warm person and greandmother to my son Jordan. It was my pleasure to have met and known her. She will be sadly missed

“Geese Louise” we are missing you now & always.

We were very sorry to hear about Joyce and pass along our deepest sympathies to Ken and the family. We had not seen Joyce for many years, but we have no problem recalling the fun and joy she brought to all those around her. She will be missed.
Hello Ken, I was so shocked to hear of Joyce’s passing. Joyce was a dear friend to me in my years working at U.H. We shared many big moans and even more big laughs about our work life and live in general. She was a beautiful person, full of energy (usually too much) and much wisdom. Thanks for this gorgeous photo of her, it brings her into my heart right away. I’ll miss her and I send you my deepest caring thoughts as you begin the journey of grieving.
It was so sad to hear about Joyce and the struggle that she went through for the last few years. Joyce was such a nice person and enjoyed a good time. I will always remember with fondness her nice laugh. Ken, my thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.
