I remember Joy's infectious laugh! Years ago, at one of our annual Kean/Macleod Boxing Day family gatherings at First Avenue, I had gone upstairs with my brothers to watch a movie or something, expecting board games with the grown-ups to be boring. A short while later, I remember coming back downstairs to see what all the hilarity was about. We found Joy and my Mum in absolute hysterics over a game of Blockbuster! I remember thinking that things were much more fun when Joy was around.
The photo below came up on my Facebook memories last week, from 7 years ago. We were at Rouen Glen park. Whatever Joy might have been going through, she expressed such interest in how we were all doing. She was kind, sincere, and great fun. I remember how much she loved her dog, Poppy. Joy was a beautiful person and I'll always remember her with so much fondness. x
