To the Joyce Family,
It's hard to say a good-by to Winnie who takes with her a piece of our hearts.
The saving grace is that she will be so happy to hook up with that "ever loving husband" John again.
You all can be so proud of the wonderful affection your family has for one another.
She will be in our thoughts and prayers forever. Slainte.

Dear Winnie, Peggy, Kate, Mary, Nancy, John, Gerry, Tim, and families,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of great loss to your family. My memories of your mom are wonderful, very special, and many. My favorite being all the Saturday nights I sat in your kitchen trying to get Mary out of being grounded. Your mom's laughter still rings in my ears from all the compliments I had to pay her. (She always looked like she just came home from the beauty parlor!) It always worked. She put on a tough act but she was a softie.
Mrs. Joyce...you will be missed. Thanks for all the fun. May you rest in peace.
Love,
Tom McCarthy
