Book of Memories for Joyce Pearl Platt

I only visited Joyce a few times in my life. Being my brother's mother-in-law, we saw her at my brother's wedding and at special family functions. What I remember about her is not so much relected in a story but in a way of being. To me, she reflected a "pastoralness", an easy, honest and spritual sense about her that instantly calmed you down. I don't know if this was from her life in a rural setting, but if it was, I desired to absorb some of her pastoral nature to calm my "city"nerves. I just remember an afternoon when we had tea in her lovely country kitchen and she talked about this and that and she showed us the barn and stories about our cat that she took in when we realized that he was too "wild" to keep in our house. She cared for the cat in the barn, which was his new home and laughed at the hunting prowess of this frisky feline. Oddly enough, she was the only person that the cat would allow near it...You could always trust Joyce, or at least trust that somewhere where there was a field, some animals, some sunshine and perhaps a rocking chair and a porch, she would be there...as I see her there now...with love, Sharyl Hudson...

Condolence From Canivet Family

Dear Kendra, Keith and Families - We are sorry to hear about your Mom. She was such a lovely woman. Your Mom and Dad made the Canivet Family so welcome and I look out the back and think of her often and wish they were still our neighbours. Les and Thom are sick, just with a terrible cold and didn't think they should go out in public and "share". I am on my way to Florida today. I wanted to let you know that are thoughts are with you all and we're sorry we cannot say this in person. Sincerly Karen, Thom and Les Canivet

Condolence From Lori and Mick Bilz
