Condolences for the family of “THORNE: Joyce”
Our sympathy to the family of Joyce.
Allison ..your ” aunt ” liked to chat after Sunday morning worship service & especially after she knew that you & our daughter Julie have worked together .
Thinking of you.
I know you are dancing again with Dave. Thank you for sharing your Alberta stories with me and being such a positive soul ♥️
My condolences to Joyce’s family .
Mrs Thorne was always a pleasure to have in the taxi she surely will be missed by those who knew her my condolences to her family
So sad that a wonderful friendship which kicked off immediately we met 63 years ago when a very young Pilot officer Fullalove, RAF, arrived at RCAF Penhold, where Dave was Flight Sergeant i/c Radio Workshop, to do flying training. I not only got my headset fixed but invites to be fed with Joyce’s home cooking, joining with Dave and others in the activities of the Penhold Scout troop, but followed that up when I returned to England and started my own family with a number of return visits to Canada where we stayed with them in Ottawa. We’ve always kept in touch with regular calls to Joyce especially after Dave died, In the last few years I’ve had great support from Joyce as my wife has Alzheimers disease.
Simon and Claire and their families and Eileen and I send our belated condolences at the death of a wonderful lady. We shall miss her too
