Dear Vic,
My heart goes out to you at this very sad time.
I have so many memories, of all the smiles, kind words & help she always gave me at Newport Realty over so many, many years.
She was a very special lady.
Sincerely,
Tove.
Dear Maureen , Victor and families, I am so deeply sorry for your Loss. I only met Joyce a few times or spoke with her on the phone. She was a really nice person. Being Maureen’s sister I would hear many stories of all their times together growing up and as adults from Maureen so I got to know her better through the stories. I know she has left a big void for both of you and your families. Hopefully happy memories of times spent together fill the void and make you smile when you think of her.
You are in my thoughts
Sandy
So sorry to hear about Joyce. She and the Price family were a large part of growing up in Langford. Joyce is remembered fondly and with many happy memories.
Dear Vic and family,
What a great loss of a very fine lady. Her smile and outgoing personality will be greatly missed at our square dances and our Association meetings. Her contribution to the square dance community as a member of the CTN staff cannot be overstated.
She was a remarkable women who will always be fondly remembered. Our deepest condolences.
