We were saddened to hear the news.We have many happy memories of Aunt Joyce with her unmistakable laugh and witty sense of humour. I'm thankful she accepted Christ as her Savior and is at peace until He comes again to take her home. You're both in our thoughts and we pray that God will give you the strength to carry on.
Love, John & Bev

We were so sorry to hear about Joyce. We attended the Saint John Seventh-day Adventist Church with her for years.
Won't it be wonderful to see her again when Jesus returns!

Aunt Joyce was my all-time favourite jokester in the family. I know her sense of humour lives on in each of us in the Thorne clan. Always happy in the face of "sometimes" enormous odds.
One beautiful bright note as our dear "Aunt Joyce" passes, is the arrival of our 4rth Grandchild Colby on the same day - July 4, 2012. We will always remember Joyce in the laughter of our new Grandson. Soulmates!
Love and hugs from Anu and Pete
