So many 1sts & good times spent with this gorgeous family thanks to you Joyce ❤️, my very 1st sleep over at a friends place, the 1st time that I remember celebrating NYE 🎉 swimming in the Channel, exploring nature in the dam finding turtles, lapping that driveway on the motor bike & Madmax buggy, photos in your garden, so many beautiful memories to cherish of being apart of your life. Thank you for giving me my forever friend Tarn❤️ You’ll always have a special place in my heart.. xx
Love to All the Ladd Family xx -
Thinking of our beautiful friend Joyce, and feeling so sad that she is no longer with us, however the memories of her will remain with us and in our hearts forever. Such a lovely smiling face every time we met up, even tho it wasn’t all that often it felt like there was no time at all since we had last seen her. Joyce’s love of music, the love for her family and so many friends was very evident at her 75th birthday celebrations. The song “Worlds greatest Mum” will always be Joyce’s song and will ignite our memories. Sending our love and big hugs to Vicki, Ben and all of Joyce’s family and friends. We are all so enriched to have had Joyce’s company in our lives and she will never be forgotten. Love Lyn and George Farnham 💜

Remembering you Joyce from a long time ago when we were all kids swimming in the channel next to your place in Rutherford St. Tghe years go but memories stay, you and your family are very special people.

Dearest Aunty Joyce, gone way to soon and oh so suddenly. I still can’t believe your gone. I will miss our telephone calls where we would talk about anything and everything. You had such a special relationship with Mum and she is finding it hard knowing that she won’t see you again. My deepest condolences to John, Terry, Vicki, Kylie & Tarn and all of your families. She was an incredibly special lady who will always be remembered with so much love.
