Dearest Joyce and family
I have fondest memories of meeting you and the family in Taranaki when I was young with Nana Bolton. You were all so kind to me and although we lost touch over the years you were often mentioned fondly by my mother Maureen. Condolences to you all at this sad time. Love Carol Wainhouse
