Goodbye Joyce
I started this post twelve years ago, and unintentionally, I did not click the button to publish it. Never too late? In 2004, we visited our Canadian cousin, Olive Joyce Hudson, aka Joyce Burnell (1920-2011) . Joyce regaled us with family stories, especially with tales of her personal adventures. Kilquade in County Wicklow c. 1953 Kilquade, Joyce's childhood home in Ireland, came to life as she told us about its history and how her family came to live there. Joyce Burnell, Nick and Cathy Paris, and Irene and Dave Stradtman Filled with non-stop energy, Joyce put us to work picking plums and preparing them for canning. Although she had been to Niagara Falls a gazillion times, Joyce personally guided us throughout the area. Thank you, Joyce. © 2012, Cathy H Paris
