My beautiful sister. I will miss your singing, your sense of humor, your words of encouragement, your laughter, your honesty, your words of wisdom. I will miss all of you. Until we meet again. Love your sister Rachel ❤❤
I met Joyce when she came to Winnipeg to visit her sisters & brothers. She always had a smile on her face. My parents & I went to a Social & we sat at the same table as Joyce. I left the table & when I came back, my parents were talking to Joyce. I said to my parents I see you met Joyce & my parents looked stunned at each other & said we thought she was Rachel. We had a good laugh after. It’s a memory I won’t forget. Condolences to Joyce’s Edmonton family & her Winnipeg family.
