JOYCE COLES (SANSOM)

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• I am a family friend and grew up spending a lot of time with Allyson, and her family Susan, Mindy, John and Joyce. It was at The Coles’s home where I was made to feel welcomed and part of the family. Your Mum was always happy and fun to be around. She was a very kind and caring person to everyone she met. And she was like a second mother to me. I know my Mum is going to miss her best friend dearly and all the wonderful times they had together laughing, joking around and enjoying life to the fullest. I am so sorry for your loss and I wish all of you my deepest condolences. Your mum was one amazing lady. With love and care, Jennifer - Posted by: Jennifer Wilson (Friend ) on: Apr 04, 2019

• I will miss my Aunt Joyce always. She was full of life, passion, and positivity. I remember spending the weekend with her and Uncle Johnny at their home in Winnipeg when I was a little girl. I loved spending time with her! I know her and Dad are the life of the party up in Heaven! Ally, Mindy, Susan and families-The poem below was a great comfort to me when my Dad passed. May you find comfort as well. Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well. - Posted by: Andrea Sansom (Niece) on: Mar 11, 2019

• We will miss our fun pal with her always cheery smiling face, one in a million. ❤️❤️ - Posted by: Flora Mitchell (Long time line dancing and Zumba buddy.) on: Mar 09, 2019

• You probably don’t remember me. Your dad John and my dad Don were close friends. Your dad was my dad’s best man. Mindy and Susie, I remember your visits to red lake, and visiting you in Winnipeg. My memory of your mom was through my mom. Your mom would do anything to keep you from crying when you were small, and to assure your happiness as adults. In short, my mom would sum it up as” she spoiled them rotten, and they turned out wonderfully”. Good to know your mom had someone important in her life after your dad passed away. - Posted by: Audrey busch (Daughter of close friends) on: Mar 09, 2019

• My deepest sympathy to the family on the passing of your mother and grandmother, Joyce. I work at a grocery store where she would come in and say hi. Beautiful lady inside and out, she always looked marvelous (even after zumba/dance). We also shared the same birthdate and I was lucky enough to say happy birthday to her and she also saying it to me. I will miss her visits to the store and her smile. - Posted by: Tracy (Friend) on: Mar 09, 2019
