Joyce's sister Gayle, is married to my brother, Gary. She has had a long battle with cervical cancer and until just these last few months, has never once complained or even acknowledged her illness. She was a wonderful, positive, fun force to be reckoned with - and will always be remembered with that beautiful, welcoming smile of hers. Lynne
From Joyce's husband Peter Donohoe:
I am at a loss for words to adequately describe my sadness in announcing Joyce’s passing this morning, peacefully, at home with her daughter Jacque and me, after an epic struggle with cancer, and with a fierce determination to live every minute to its fullest, until her energy was totally spent. I know that I can speak for the rest of her family in thanking all of you who have been close enough to support Joyce and us during the very difficult past sixteen months of her twenty year ordeal. The constant stream of visitors to our home the past three weeks is in itself a fine tribute to this wonderful woman, my wife, my love, my Joyce
