Worshipping her memory are siblings: Max (Pauline), Donald (Ann) and Hardy (Maxine); sister Floretta Murphy (Gerald). The rose never permitted to blossom. Would dear Lord that Joyce could convey her innermost feelings – thus – I was denied life’s journey of joy, sorrow and success. However, I sensed the sound of music, the song of the birds, the whispering wind. So too the endearing touch of family love and I was truly blessed to have sensed the love and commitment of the Angels of devotion at the eastern Health Hoyles-Escasoni Complex. Weep not for me for I am no less than those princesses and poppers that have departed this earthly coil. The golden trumpet shall sound, the Heavenly Veil to open and perhaps, just perhaps on the other side a rope to skip, a bike to ride and _______ a prince to love. A private family service will be held at Mount Patricia Cemetery on Friday, July 7 at 11:00 a.m. with The Very Rev. Baxter Park.
