So sorry to hear of Joy's Passing. Such a beautiful lady and so well loved. Still can see her beautiful smiling face at the Warkworth 4 Square, many a laugh had there and lots of fun memories with Bruce and Margaret. Sorry we can't be there but our thoughts and love are with you all. Another angel in heaven reuniting with Bill, probably having her favourite Rum and Coke. Haha. Love to you Paul and all the family. Take Care, God Bless.
