To Spud and families, we were so sorry we were not able to attend Joy’s farewell. Our thoughts have been with you all. Robin and Glenice Houghton.
My sincere condolences to the Brogden family. I have fond memories of Joyous as we shared the same birthdate. When Joy worked at Elmes grocery store we talked about our age difference and instead of me saying we are 15 years apart, I said that we were $15 apart. It was a standing joke. Anyhow I am very sad about the lioss of Joy. RIP 💖💖
My sincere sympathy to Spud and family, my thoughts are with you all. I feel privileged to have known Joy, and so many members of her family, both children and grandchildren.
