I am so saddened to learn of Joyce's passing. Joyce and I were the best of friends in grade school. My dad would always chuckle watching us walk to school together each day because she was tall and I looked so much shorter beside her. We had great fun - we even went to see the Monkies in concert in Toronto. We stayed in touch for the longest time and then lost connection for some reason but I thought of her often. I was so pleased when we reconnected a few years back; we had so much to catch up on. I will miss my friend and her kind and gentle spirit.

Joyce has been a neighbour for 9 years, and a walking buddy for the last 3 months,she wanted to walk for health reasons, and was looking forward to warmer weather to get more walks in.Our last walk was a milestone for her, her longest to date.
RIP Joyce, I will miss our chats, your kindness, positive outlook and the laughs we had. xxx

Adam, I worked with your mom and have known her for a long time. She was a caring, kind lady and so so proud of you! I am so sorry to read of her sudden passing!

I knew Joyce from Hamilton Health Sciences. She was a lovely person with a beautiful smile and a kind and thoughtful soul. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family.

I remember Joyce as a classmate in grade 7 at Sacred Heart school. She was tall and always grabbed my coat in the cloakroom. RIP Joyce.
