We were so saddened to hear of the passing of Aunty Joyce. I remember spending time with her and Uncle Tom in Yorkton. We played cards; kings in the corner and running around the yard with my sisters and brothers.
But it was in the last few years when I moved to Calgary when I was able to spend a little more time with her. My sister Jess and I would take my youngest, Madeline who just turned 4, and visit. We would sometimes bring our older girls; Hannah 9, Emma, 7.5 and Jayden 10, and they would entertain her with songs and stories. Sometimes we had tea or brought pictures or she would do a puzzle or colour with Madeline. But either way we left her room with many coloured papers to decorate her walls. She was such a delight to visit with. She loved when the children came and she got such joy from the little girls. Madeline loved to ride on her lap in the wheel chair, hold her hand and kiss her good bye.
I feel so privileged to know and have spent time with my great aunt. Most people don’t get that opportunity. She will be very missed. I am so sorry for your loss.
