HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY WITHOUT JOYCE!
They say that behind every man
there’s a Great Woman! In my life this is so true, as what I became would never
have happened without Joyce. Sure, many other dynamics and people came into my
life to make me who I am today…

Though
Without Joyce:
“The Fires of Hell” could well be licking at your toes, she always reminded me.
Joyce was my center as I started my quest to find the Comfort and Love that is
JESUS CHRIST.
Without Joyce:
I would never have learned how to make pictures of a rabbit and tank on a Dot
Matrix Machine and work with computers. She gave me the courage to go to night
school, so I could make it into the Information Technology Department at the
Calgary Public Library.
Without Joyce:
I wouldn’t have been able to take that little bit of computer knowledge and use
it to help build a Computer Lab at the High School in KwaZulu-Natal Province,
Bhekulwandle South Africa.
Without Joyce:
I would never have had the ability to make nightly calls to over 408 Parents
and assist them in the recovery of their Missing Children, through Child Find
Alberta and Team Hope the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children.
Volunteer with my late Wife Joyce at Inn From The Cold, learning from her how
to help those so in need.
Without Joyce:
I could never have gone to the Gulf of Mexico and assist in the recovery of 70
Hurricane Katrina ravaged homes in Mississippi and Louisiana. Or become a Rapid Response Chaplin at Samaritan's Purse Canada without Joyce and GOD.
Without Joyce:
I also Volunteered on 2 Parent Sponsoring Committees of Royal Canadian Air
Cadet Squadrons - 781 Squadron and 538 Squadron. Proudly watching my Step Son
make it to Sargent and eldest Granddaughter make it to Warrant Officer in rank. Or be
there for when my youngest daughter needed a real Mom or when my eldest
daughters water broke as I was there for her eldest daughter for the same.
Without Joyce:
I would never have had the simple joy of having a Family, Grandchildren and
puppy dogs. She was My Best Friend, she loved me like No Other Human being and
taught me to share this Love with many who needed it and even those who may not
have deserved it. Which is something good, that GOD taught both Joyce and me.
But with Joyce:
I had Twenty-Eight years together 1986 – 2014 May 27th; that have gone by in a
blink of an eye. We traveled life’s road and have been there and done that,
made it through moments of pee your pants giggles, struggle and strife. Yet my
life on this earth was made better With Joyce and yet I must live another day
and night alone,
Without Joyce.
