I have known Joyce and her family for many decades. I also babysat her children once in awhile. Although my husbands career moved us away from Winnipeg, I was able to keep up with most news of friends through my mother and sister. On the passing of my mother, I was able to have a nice visit with Joyce. My condolences to her family. Memories are wonderful! - Posted by: Gwyn Perkins (Edwards) (Friend) on: Dec 17, 2015

When they announced at Church that she had passed away, I remembered I had thought about her the week earlier. I was shocked to hear that she was gone, even knowing she had been failing in the last year. She was the first person to befriend me at the Church when I started going there. She then became one of my clients for hearing at the Winnipeg Hearing. So sad about -- our loss... Please accept my sympathy. - Posted by: Dianne Lubinski (through church and I am her hearing aid specialist) on: Dec 14, 2015
