Dear David Gloria and families. I am so sorry to hear about Joy. We have been long time friends. Our Sympathy goes out to you all and we will be thinking of you at the sad time.. Love from Wendy and Myra Prankerd.

Deepest sympathy to you David, Gloria, Michael and families. I remember those weekends away from 'Scotlands' with Joy & her parents on their farm all those years ago. Joy had the warmest and most generous heart and I cherish those memories. What a brave lady she was, always bright when I phoned her from Hamilton, even though her health was failing her. My thoughts are with you all today. Jill Flint (Aplin)
