Sincere condolences to Bernie & family on the sudden loss of Joy who will be sadly missed by you all and the many people whose lives she has touched. I will always remember Joy´s beautiful smile and more recently the many happy times I have spent with Joy at the Waiheke Retirement Village. Rest in peace, Joy. Much love from Sue Trevatt.

it is times like now that we reflect and regret that we did not visit Joy and Bernie more often. Her name says it all, a Joy to her family, and so well loved by them all.

Bernie we are sad to hear that your soulmate has left you, and we know that such parting is so hard for you. Sorry we can't be with you on Tuesday but our thoughts will be there

Love
Alan and Karen
