Goodbye Joyce, you will be missed. I remember your smile and enthusiasm. A lively performer, whether in dance or playing the ukulele or harmonica, and always with a twinkle in your eye.

It has been a honour to know, love and look after you our "joycey woycey". You have touched our lives more than you know. I will miss the Friday night boogies in the pharmacy, the Easter eggs you never failed to gift every year, the laughs and the friendship you gave. You have a special place in mine and Karlyns hearts. Rest in peace fabulous lady, I bet Karlyn is waiting for you x
