Not sure what to say?

Dear Cousins,

Ken and I were saddened to hear about Joyce's passing and were sorry we were not in town to help out.

It doesn't seem that long ago that we visited with her at Jo's and were amazed at how spry she was.

She was a real lady. We will miss her.

Ken & Sandra

Living a happy and healthy 96 years and still having a wide circle of friends and relatives who care is a testament to Joyce. Her three daughters and two sons were a blessing to her and made her life since John died a
comfortable and fruitful experience. Bye, I will miss you.

Diane, Jo, Judy, Tim & Bill,
Aunt Joyce is probably playing a little game of bridge with John, Agnes and Gayle!
She lived a good, long life thanks to you kids... you should be very proud!
Sincere wishes.

To Diane, Judy, Johan, Tim and Billy,
I was very saddened to hear of the passing of your mom. It has been years since I have seen her but my memories of a calm and confident woman who embraced life and helped nurture the Woodridge community remain strong. As a young kid, I was always welcome. My deepest sympathies on your loss.
