I’d like the memory of me

to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow

of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways,

of happy times and laughing times

and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,

to dry before the sun;

of happy memories that I leave

when life is done.

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • Our sincere condolences on the passing of your dear Mom, Grandma & Great-Grandma & loved one. She was a gracious lady! I too remember her as Anne Zasitko's sister and the remarkable thing for me as a kid growing up in Eriksdale was that Anne & Joyce had SUCH a strong Scottish accent, you'd think they'd just gotten off the boat from Scotland yesterday! The other amazing thing was Joyce's memory: for some strange reason she would always greet me by my sister Carole's name, & when I'd say I was Cindy, not Carole, she'd say "Oh Yes! Cindy! I knew that!" & we'd both have a little chuckle! She & your Dad, Adam, were always interested in the fact that a "town kid" like ME had married a FARMER, Jeff, & your Dad would ask Jeff how the crops & cattle were etc. May the sharing of memories, laughter, tears bring you comfort as you mourn the loss of your Mom & Grandma & loved one. We will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. With love & hugs! God Bless! - Posted by: Jeff & Cindy Plett (Friends ) on: Feb 05, 2024

  • Joyce’s family; I had the pleasure of knowing Joyce as Ann Zazitko’s sister. Although I live in Mulvihill our paths often crossed. Joyce always remembered me and acknowledged me. The last time I saw her was Eriksdale Christmas Craft sale and she acknowledged me but I had no recollection of her. I felt so bad that I didn’t know her and show her the same courtesy she always showed me. Another loved one gone. She was a special lady and I hope I will always remember her. I have great memories when I can draw on them. Joyce Sewell - Posted by: Joyce (Sewell) on: Jan 28, 2024
