Joyce Shortland, Mum to Jackie, Ralph and Linda, Wife to her beloved John, has passed away at the age of 90 years.
Joyce was also Nan to five grandchildren and Great Nan to 8 great grandchildren.
Joyce worked in a variety of jobs during her working life, the last of which was as a shop assistant for Sainsbury's before taking retirement.
Joyce had been a volunteer at a drama group for adults with physical and learning disabilities; often being called upon to make costumes due to her amazing needlework skills.
For a number of years Joyce had also been a volunteer at her grandsons primary school, where she listened to children read. This bought an immense amount of pleasure to Joyce, and was a role she continued to enjoy until she was 83 years young!
She will be sorely missed.

Dear Mum
This would have been your 98th birthday today.
I am missing you so much. Me, Simon and Dan miss you terribly.
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and so very dear.
Thinking of you especially today Mum.
I love you

Mum,
It's been 7 years since you left us. I can't believe I have not seen you or given you a big hug in all that time. I miss you so much. I haven't had the easiest of years with my mental health but I always know that you are with me. Now I am in a better place and I am truly grateful. I just wish you were here to be a part of the extended family with Dan and Harley and the kids. You would have loved them so much. I trust that you stay by my and Dan's side. We love you very much. Rest In Peace my lovely xxxx

There is this big hole where you were and this mothers day I miss you more than ever. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, memories are wonderful things no one can steal.

If roses grow in heaven,Lord pick a bunch for me, place them inmy mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold er for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there is an ache inside my heart that never goes away. Today Lord it's her birthday and the roses are from me to tell her I love her very much and in my heart she'll always be.
Dear Mum, Thinking of you especially today on what would have been your 97th birthday. There is a hole in my soul that I struggle with but I know you're at peace and with Dad and Jackie. RIP Mum. I love you. Lin xxxxx

I am a day late Mum .....sorry! I just didn't feel too good yesterday so didn't do this. I have the flowers by your photo though!! I think of you everyday and miss you very much. I was thinking of you again on Mother's Day yesterday as always. it's so hard. I'm so pleased you're not here though with all this Covid around and I would not have coped not being able to see you and give you a big hug and kiss. So although I am sad you're not here with me anymore, I know you are with me in my heart all of the time. Love you XXX Lin XX

You'll never be forgotten
That simply cannot be.
As long as I am living,
I'll carry you with me.
Safely tucked within my heart,
Your light will always shine;
A glowing ember never stilled,
Throughout the end of time.
No matter what the future brings,
Or what may lie ahead,
I know that you will walk with me
Along the path I tread.
So rest my angel, be at peace
And let your soul fly free.
When it's time I'll join you there
For all eternity.
With all my love on what would have been your 94th birthday.
Love always
Lin, Simon and Dan xxxxxxx

Dear Mum
I believe your spirit is still with me
You send me signs to show me
I sense you, but I can't see you
I feel you but I can't touch you
I perceive you but I can't hear you
Your home is in my heart
Even though we are apart
You're always there within the air
Your spirit is everywhere
Thank you for being with me
Three years ago today and I miss you so much.
Remembering my very special Mum
xxxxxxxx

Hi Mum
Happy Mother's Day.
Given all the craziness that is happening now, I am thankful that you are safe where you are and not here where I would not be allowed to be with you today.
I think about you every day but my thoughts are with you especially this Mother's Day and I miss you so much. Keep us safe and well mum I know you are with us.
Love you xxx
