    Dear Ed, Sarah & Jamie, Darian, Isabelle, Aubrey, Amelia and Kerslake & Seldon Families . . .

    It is with saddened hearts that we are sending our sincerest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your dear and caring Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Joy. She was a dedicated, kind, sincere, proud, hard-working, remarkable lady who will be missed dearly by all her loved ones. Saying goodbye is always heartbreaking especially when it is a lady so beautiful both inside and out and taken way to young. It is so difficult to understand why these things happen to such good people. May the loving memories you have of her live on โ€“ in your hearts forever and help you through the difficult days ahead. โ€œDeath leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.โ€ You have so many family, friends, neighbours & community grieving along side you and supporting all of you with their thoughts & prayers.

    I had the pleasure of working with Joy many years ago. I will forever remember Joy for her loving & friendly manner, her beautiful smile, and the friendly chit-chats we shared. I especially admired her for the LOVE she had for her family, friends & neighbours.

    Joy is now resting peacefully in the arms of the angels & may her journey to the next life be as wonderful as she was on Earth. She will be your angel in spirit โ€“ watching over all of you . May God keep you in his loving arms as you grieve and celebrate Joy’s life.

    Rest in Peace Joy. โค๏ธ

    Another kind and caring person is gone. My condolences to each and everyone. Someone taken still not old
    Sorry I cannot make the Celebration of Life as I will be away

    A Silent Tear – Author Unknown
    Just close your eyes and you will see
    All the memories that you have of me
    Just sit and relax and you will find
    I’m really still there inside your mind
    Don’t cry for me now I’m gone
    For I am in the land of song
    There is no pain, there is no fear
    So dry away that silent tear
    Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
    For here I am, no longer with you
    I’m in that place that’s filled with love
    Known to you all, as “up above

    God Bless your Families
