Remembering you xxx

A year today Mum, you are in my thoughts every day and i miss you terribly,you are talked about all the time which helps. My girls are growing up fast and I see more of you in them as time goes on which is a comfort. Love you always XXX

I added a song for you today Nana. Somewhere over the rainbow. I Love this song and for some reason it reminded me of you when listening to it. I miss you millions nana. You were and still are one of a kind and deeply missed but never forgotten, i'm sure the family will make sure that your never forgotten because i certainly know i won't let that happen! I'm doing well in hairdressing just to let you know , passing my assessments with flying colour as my teacher says. I miss doing your hair and having a nice talk about everything. I try my best not to cry , i try my best to smile at the memories i remember and the tears i cry are happy tears because you made my childhood the best. I'll always be grateful for that Nana chocolate. Not a day goes past where i dont think about you. I always wear your locket and take care of it. I'm keeping the original pictures in there of you and grandad and dad as a little boy, because you put them in there and they ment sop much to you. I still have Joy my doll you made me when i was little and i still cuddle her when i got to sleep becuase it makes me feel closer to you. I also have the teddy bear from when i was little aswell. I hope you liked the poem and my letter to you that i wrote for you, as i ment every word i put in there. Oh my nana i miss you terribly , it still doesn't feel real. I still expect to wake up on a saturday/sunday and leave home at 2 O'clock to drive to yours. I miss seeing you and talking to you and just generally seeing your smile and hearing your laugh. As you can probably see i am writing this with tears rolling of my cheeks , i try to keep it in but dad says its good to cry now and then. I missed you at christmas it just didn't feel right. I love you Nana so so much. You, as well as grandad jack & peter are my guardian Angel, the brightest star in the sky at night. Sleep tight Nana & sweet dreams. See you soon. Love you & Miss you. Alexandra Joy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Merry Christmas Nana, Hope you had a good day up on the clouds. Love you now, forever & always. Alexandra Joy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Missing you so much nana. You should see me now, im training to be a hairdresser like you said you wanted me to do. Hope im making you proud up there nana chocolate. Words cant describe how much i miss you. My birthday and christmas are going to feel so weird without you here in life but you will be there in our hearts. You should see Max now, he's HUGE, but still as playful as ever and he's missing you alot too. Sometimes when i feel down or upset about missing you, i just think about how happy you are up there with everyone you have always loved, even though down here were missing you, were happy that finally you can see everyone again. Ill be driving soon nan, scared but excited and ill always remember what you said to me about driving and i won't be one of those maniacs who causes accidents. I just wish i could of taken you out when i passed and gone to the park or hare and hounds, just the two of us. I miss your hugs alot nan, more then you could imagine. I miss you nagging me to make tea haha :) or picking up the apples in garden. I miss everything really if im honest. I hope you really are happy up there nan, cos if your not then your more than welcome to come back here and make us happy again? I miss coming over every weekend, my weekends arent the same without you in them. Right, i better stop writing otherwise im going to run out of room haha :) . I love you for eternity, forever and always. Miss you like crazy but glad your happy. Lots of love Alexandra xxxxxxxxxxx P.S - birthday in 2 weeks , don't forget and if possible send me a sign to show you didnt forget. love you always nana chocolate. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The memories we shared will stay with me forever and always.There was never a moment where my Nana couldn't make me smile or laugh.Those 16 years we had together have been the best years of my early life, she always gave me great advice, told me stories about my dad when he was younger and Always gave me the best hugs in world whenever i needed them. I shall never forget you Nana and i will do my best to make you so so so proud and at the times where i think " i cant do this any more or Oh I give up" i will always remember what you said to me " you can do achieve anything you want, because your like me :)". I love you forever and always nan, i will keep your memories alive and tell my children when i have them what a wonderful and loveable lady you were and always will be.You were such a character and so many people loved you and will carry on loving you.You are the best Nana me and Ellie could of wished for, thank you for everything you have done for us.I will never stop talking about you. Hope you've met up with granddad peter,Norman, your mum and dad and Maise. Lots of love , forever and always Alexandra xoxoxoxoxo

Joy by name and a joy to have known. Many memories of great past times. Love Richard

Our thoughts of Joy go back to her early married life with Peter, staying at Avenue Road, Southall, living with Uncle Rob & Auntie Mill,& then to thier new home at Yeading Lane, we want to remember Joy in those very happy years, loving memories, John & Joyce

Joyce's sudden death has been a massive shock to us all and she will be greatly missed.I know she made my Dad really happy and hope he was there to greet Joyce at the gates. Stepdaughter Claire

Thank you, dear Joy, for the past 27 years of close friendship we have shared. I cannot believe that you are not' just across the road' and know that we both shall miss you terribly. Fondest love and many happy memories Betty & Pat.

Thank you for your wonderful son, and the great job you did in raising him. You will be much missed. Sally xXx

A very special lady: Words can not express how much Joyce will be missed by us all. We became neighbours to Joyce and Murray 40 years ago and from that a very strong friendship began which continued until she passed away. Always in our thoughts, Janet, Tony, Stuart, Russell and families xx

i was pleased to have known you, you were a very very special lady, will always be in our thoughts.. from sue benton and family x

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joyce Howard. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
