The gods do not subtract from the allotted span of lives, the hours spent dancing. May you enjoy the Elysian Fields and taste the nectar of Ambrosia- Peter
Words cannot really express how much you meant to us dearest Joy. Over 35 years of love and friendship when we first meet through our saints and then you became so much more to us. You have been such a wonderfully kind and supportive part of our lives. We loved spending time with you whenever we had the chance. We had some great adventures and so many laughs. Your honesty, wit, integrity and wonderful sense of humour will be remembered by us all. You loved your children and grandchildren dearly and always loved sharing what they were up to. With love to your family from Karen, Graeme, Beth and Nathan. xxx
On behalf of the New Plymouth Stroke Support Trust, I would like to pass on our deepest sympathy. It was lovely to catch up after so many years, to see that smile when you came to the socials and enjoying the bus trips. Now it is time to Rest in Peace dear Joy. Deepest sympathy to all the family.
So lucky to have you as a friend since 1984 and spend so many great times with our beloved Saint Bernards. A wonderful and kind person, I hope Khedive was waiting to greet you. Love Judith
Such a kind beautiful soul with a smile that would light a room. Rest in love Joy x
