It was so nice to have one of Joy's sons speak at Neville's funeral. It brought back lovely memories spending time with Joy and Neville at the camp ground.
I always thought that it was quite adventurous of Joy to come up to HB and then all the way out to Aramoana.
I am truly sorry for your loss and her passing but know that she led a very full life and was such a joy to be around.
She is an indelible part of the history of Two Mac's camp and indeed Aramoana.
We were blessed to be graced with her if only for a few years.
