So sorry to hear of Joys passing. I have fond memories of her wicked sense of humour from our days working together in ITU. Sending my deepest condolences to David, Drew and Evie xx

It was so lovely to see you at my 80th birthday party in December Joy. You looked gorgeous and happy. From The Prophet: .....and what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from it's restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered.... You will always be in my heart dear daughter in law ❤️

The last time I saw your smile…. Nina was talking about the family and their partners past and present, you turned to me and said “part of the furniture we are”. And we are! I’d like to think of myself as a chaise lounge, now how about you? I will miss our little jokes Joy and the family times we spent together. With all my love, Pip x

Debbie and Kyle send you their love. They miss you, and wish they could be there for you. I'm happy, and sad, to be here to say goodbye, but hope that someday there'll be a hello again, too. Lots of love from Singapore xxxx

I listened to poem by John O'Donohue and thought of Joy . Part of the poem "Though we need to weep your loss, you dwell in that safe place in our hearts, where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

To our Joy You are gone too soon, but now with your Mam God bless you With our love

A poem that made me think about my mum. Somewhere between then and now, It went from "Mum, stop telling me what to do." To "Mum, please tell me what to do." Somewhere between then and now, It went from "Mum, you don't understand." To "Mum, I don't understand." Somewhere between then and now, It went from "Mum, stop asking me so many questions." To "Mum, I have so many questions." Somewhere between then and now, It went from "Mum, leave me alone." To "Mum, never leave my side." Somewehere been then and now, I realised the other half of my heart was always the person who created it in the first place. I will always miss you Mum.
