Dear All,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories of Ma. I like many of you benefited from her unwaivering love and friendship. I'm certain I would not have survived my teen years without her. She provided understanding and answers I could not find anywhere else.

She will always be apart of me and I will always be thankful to have been a part of the Newell family.

My love and thoughts are with you all.
Jess

Dear Clyde and Joyce, Together once again in Heaven. I worked with you Clyde for many years and when you brought me home to meet Joyce it was like meeting "an old friend". I slept over many many times and always felt like part of the family. I never knew a man who loved his wife more than Clyde...or a woman who loved her husband more than Joyce. I never met Joyce's "new" love but he is SO lucky to have had her for as long as he did. To the Newall kids...I remember you when you were snot nosed little buggers and watched as you grew into lovely young men and women. Your parents did a wonderful job raising you and you can be proud of having had them as parents. It is not often that I can't think of something negative to say about even my best friends..BUT ...there is NOTHING bad you could ever say about Joyce and Clyde. I Loved them both and have always remembered them in my prayers. In case you don't remember me....I did your mother's hair for Nat's wedding. I am so happy you have all grown and flourished. Your parents would be proud of you...I know I am!! Much Love to you all "Uncle" Dennis

To the family, Your mother was a wonderful woman. I knew her my entire life, I remember crafts at her house when I was young and I remember when she actually saved my life at the school playground about 11 yrs. ago now. Thank God for her and my deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.

Vern, Holly, and family; I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of your mother's passing. She was a wonderful person, with a great sense of humor. She will be deeply missed. May your memories comfort you at this time of sorrow in your lives. Please call me if there's anything I can do, or if you just want to talk. Take care.

Love, Anne-Marie Shine

To all who read this,

I just want you to know what kind of woman my mother was. If you knew her you would understand. My mother was not the kind to baby you, it was brush it off and keep going. Don't stop to ponder if it is supposed to be this way, just go for it. Put your all into it and don't cry over spilled milk. Because of my mother I am strong. When my father passed away in 1999 we were worried about my mother. Mom introduced us to Richard who is just as much a wonderful stepfather as a grandfather. She was blessed to have him and him to have her. Mom loved the Harley and traveling and I will forever miss her today and forever. I love you mom.

Family and friends,

I feel like Ma made little distinction between family and friends. Her passion all through life was caring for others. Some were lucky enough to be born to her as family. Others like myself had the true privilege of being adopted into her family.

There was a time in my childhood when I found myself without a home. That was perhaps the scariest ten minutes of my life!!!. Ma and Dad stepped in immediately and by the grace of God and their capacity to love, I was accepted into the most loving environment I have ever experienced. In true teenage fashion I did not probably appreciate what I had nearly as much as I should have. And although at times I made it hard to continue giving they did continue all the same. There were many times throughout my life when I looked to Dad for strength, and I used Ma's shoulder to cry on. And they were always there.

As dramatic an influence I feel they had in my life, I know that they shared this capacity to love with nearly everyone they came in contact with.

After Dad's passing Ma continued to expand the circle of those she chose to share that love with. This brought Richard into our lives. What a blessing Richard has been. He has been the rock that held Ma to the ground while allowing her to fly and truly live her last years to the fullest.

Leaving this world Ma leaves a large void to be filled. I challenge myself along with the rest of our family to ensure that the passion for family and friends that Ma strove to instill in all of us continues to live and grow.

I will truly miss her

Richard & Newell children:
Please accept our condolences in the passing of Joyce. She will be sadly missed and we loved her very much. One of the best cousins I could have had. She was such a great help when I was ill. Gone too soon.
Love,
