I was truly blessed to have Joy as my Godmother. As with everything Joy did, she made sure she was the best, always attentive and never missed a birthday, overly generous, kind and loving. I had the privilege of looking after her when she convalesced after her shoulder op years ago. Even though she was in pain, she always had a smile and joke and never complained, always keeping her dignity and pride in tact. We shared some special moments over this time and I always loved listening to her stories. Joy had a gift when it came to telling stories and every time she told a story she had everyone transfixed as she would embellish and make them interesting even if you’d heard the same story several times before. Joy was a role model for me and if I can be half the woman she was I will consider myself very fortunate. Rest in peace Joy, you will be forever missed and always lovingly thought of.
