Joyce Agnes Schmidt, our lovely mother, now lies
peacefully after a multi-year struggle with myeloma.
Through this difficult time, her bravery honored us
and her dignity never faded. As her daily life had
become so fragile and precarious, we must
alleviate our anguish with solace knowing that she
rests in a more peaceful place. Mom had a love for
painting, a passion for music, and a zeal for
swimming and card games. Her life’s work as a
nurse for sick children mirrored her compassion
and devotion towards family and friends. Capturing
many hearts with her elegance and charismatic
kindness, her absence leaves much disenchantment.
In time, this will reawaken into warm memories of
the wonderful soul she possessed.
Be at peace, Mother
You live on in our hearts now and forever
