In lieu of flowers, donations in Joyce’s memory can be made to The
Church of The Holy Spirit, Parkinson Society Nova Scotia, or charity of

The Angels sang “Amazing Grace”
The Lord came down and touched her face.
He held her hand and whispered low;
Come with Me it’s time to go.
The gates of Heaven opened wide
And the angels lined up side by side.
A special gift was on her way,
The day God took Joyce away.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Joyce Gertrude Rankin April 17 1934 March 29 2020..
