Dear Family and Friends of Joyce. I had the privilege of assisting Joyce in her home for a number of years before I moved to Rosebud in 2010. I was introduced to her by a mutual friend, Sister Peggy Mary Fennessy CGS who went to school with her at Kilbreda.These were some of the most joyful and interesting days of my life. I learned so much from Joyce. She was a wonderful friend to me. She absolutely loved my little dog at that time - Yung Sum - a Shih Tzu -and painted his portrait!Everybody loved Joyce. She had interesting visitors and stories to tell of days gone by, all of which were punctuated by snippets of the Christian faith that was such an important part of her life.Dear Joyce, I will never forget you and I look forward to meeting you again, one day, in glory! Your friend and erstwhile companion.Connie
