I am so sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. I had seen her in Lethbridge a few years ago just before she and Ernie were headed South. Never a dull moment with Joyce for sure…we always had something or someone to talk about and neither of us were ever lacking in something to say. She was always lots of fun and enjoyed visiting when I did run into her. I wish you all strength to carry on and hope your sorrow will be replaced with smiles of warm memories as time goes on to heal. I am sorry I won’t be able to attend Joyce’s celebration of life, but know I will be thinking of her and families. Sincerely, Debbie Diebert Zuback
