Joyce, I loved working with you. I always had a great respect for your straightforward approach and get on with it' attitude. We often laughed, & shared a similar philosophy. You taught me lots, listened when I wanted to talk about losing my son and showed me great strength of character. Thank you. I am so sorry to read of your passing. May you Rest In Peace.

BAIRD, Joyce:
My dearest mum, our loving Nana, you showed so much courage in your fight to stay with us all. We wished and prayed that you could have stayed but it was not meant to be. You showed us how to love, how to care and how to be better people. This we thank and love you for.
You will forever live on in us and in everything that we do.
We love you and will miss you but we will never, ever forget you.
Loved mum of Sheryl (nee Baird), mother-in-law of Mike, and grandmother of Jacob, Zack and Hannah.
