  4. Dear Maryanne , Andrea and James and your families, thinking of you all at this sad time with the loss of your dear mum.
    Mrs Kerr was always so welcoming to me into the family home throughout our high school years on lots of weekends.
    She was such a caring and kind lady who loved her family and I was always felt loved by her.
    She made the best chocolate ripple cake which she always seemed to make when I was there.

    Thinking of you all
    Love always

  5. Remembering Aunty Joyce with much love. A beautiful, kind and gentle person. She and Les together shared a full life, and we offer our sympathy to Andrea, Maryanne and James. We remember so fondly her careful reconstitution of "Peter Rabbit" and thoughtful gifting of him to our son Peppe. He continues to rest comfortably in Port Fairy. To pass from Franco to Joyce and Les's children, and then to find his way back to our children, reflects the kindness and thoughtfulness that Joyce has shown to many throughout her life. May her kind soul rest in peace

  6. Joyce was a kind and beautiful soul who was deeply loved by her family and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

    It has been a privilege to have known her for so many years, and we feel very grateful for all the memories we have shared.

    Our thoughts go out to all her family at this incredibly difficult time especially my sister Michelle & brother in law James who dedicated so much time caring for her the last few years.

    Rest peacefully, Joyce You will be sadly missed, lovingly remembered and never forgotten!
