So sorry to hear. She was one of the most creative women I was privileged to meet. She never judged people and was accepting of the life choices people made.
She was beautiful all through.

Aunty Joy, there aren't the words for the massive hole you have left in my heart. I have so many memories of you. I remember as a child, finally figuring out that you, dad and uncle Bill weren't angry arguing, you were all entertained and laughing and arguing for fun. I'll remember your love and help when I needed you when dad got sick (but really, you didn't need to iron my knickers!). I will forever miss the joyful "well hello my girl" greetings and being able to call and ask a craft question. This world was richer for your love and I will do my best to remember you every day. Vale, aunty.
