My condolences to the family. Growing up I remember always stopping at the McRae's with mom and dad (Jim and Byrdye Beckel). Joyce and mom curled together and both of them loved painting. Mom loved the trips out to Gimli to spend some time painting and I am sure there was a lot of laughing going on too. Joyce was a true friend to mom right up to her passing 5 years ago. - Posted by: Janice Burnett (Friend) on: Apr 03, 2013
