My condolences to the Seliga families. I grew up knowing many of you and my heart goes out to all of you. I think the first time I met Joyce was as a very young girl on Head St at the house next to my Grandma’s. Some of the farm workers lived there, and if she saw me outside she always had a smile and stopped to say Hello. That continued every time our paths crossed as I grew up. She was a wonderful lady. I know you will all miss her dearly. God surely has welcomed her Home with open arms.
