What I missed most was arriving too late for her funeral.(1hr1/2)
I think I can remember all the great times we shared and how she matched Rhonda with John. I won't be able to tell them about Joy's send off when they return from overseas however the Statesman Hotel manager (opposite church) told me I had missed a big one, with quite a few having just left her establishment.

I might get the times wrong but I know when I have memories of university and travel with Joy (and Rhonda)they are full of laughter and enjoyment. Even better with her wonderful family in tow.
