Dear Finans, I’m sorry that you are now separated from your mother. Your obituary was an accurate description of the woman I was always pleased to meet. I hope she didn’t suffer..You are the people she loved and lived for. She will rest with God and pray for you.

Dear Finan Family: Please accept our thoughts and prayers for both Joyce and John and also for the rest of the family in this stressful time. We remember a fun time event with Joyce and John at a Halloween party at our house with the "Potluck" group at St. Giles when they arrived as a married priest and nun. Hilarity reigned all evening after that. We remember you fellows too as the perfect paper delivery service who always put the paper on the front porch out of the elements! With Love from Carol and Jim Gallagher

Joyce and your Dad were such an important part of our group-actually the glue that kept us together for over these past 70 years-that a very special part of all has gone with her.. We shared so many good times, laughs, sad times and tears with them, especially your Mom, that we shall never be the same. All of us marvelled at how she accepted her life after your Dad's death, and carried on by raising her boys to be such good, strong, caring Men. Her last years have been difficult, but her wonderful sons looked after her like the true Queen she was. May Joyce enjoy the true reward she so justly deserves and Rest in Peace, dear Friend. Your HOC Group

Dear Finan Family, You have our deepest sympathy. We have wonderful memories of Joyce and John; growing up together at HOC, our times together during the service while stationed in Germany, raising our children in Oak Park and many visits in Glen Ellyn. Joyce always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. We are blessed to have had Joyce and John in our lives and we will cherish their friendship forever.

Joyce & I worked in the Student Loan Department at Corus Bank in Chicago. We shared many laughs (and some sorrows) about family, Twin Lakes, & growing older. Joyce was a remarkable woman who will be missed, but my hope is that your cherished memories will always keep her alive in your heart.

Joyce, sé que estás muy feliz. Fuiste un corazón, alegría y generosidad. Dios habrá abierto sus brazos para ayudarte a llegar muy cerquita de Él. ¡Nunca podré olvidar cómo te portaste conmigo! Cómo nos divertíamos sin yo saber el inglés ni tú el español. Tú amiga Adela, que siempre en su mente te tendrá. Joyce, I know that you are happy. You were a generous heart and joy. I’m sure that God has opened his arms to help you reach him, and that you’re really close to him now. I would never forget how much fun we had even though I did not know English and you did not know Spanish. Your friend Adela will always remember you.

Dear Marty, Matt, Tom & John, What a well lived life your Mom led. One of the strongest people I have ever met. I remember disappointing her once. Through her grace she taught a valuable lesson, I never forget. So happy your Mom & Dad are together again. Our Mom Winnie Northey at 92 has fond memories of her friend Joyce. Peace, The Northey's
