So sorry to hear of Joy's passing. It was wonderful to see all three of you last September. So many memories of the Urenui farm, cutting the grass at Hamblyn street, playing in the pool with Sage hovering around. What a wonderful life Joy had with Lawrie, Bruce and Roger. A fabulous mother and.a great friend to my mum, Lucette. RIP.

Bruce, Roger and families, We were sorry to hear of Joy's passing. While I hadn't seen her for many years I remember her as a cheerful and kind person who supported and encouraged her children in many ways. I remember as a teenager playing golf with Bruce, Joy and Mary (my mother). Bruce's and my golf wasn't very good, but we had a fun trying. My deepest condolences, Nigel Lander
