19th May 2023 - A proud day!

Friday the 19th May 2023 is a proud day for Robert's grandparents Joyce & Roy and Pam & Bert, and his aunts Doll-Doll, Rosie & Sandy, who are all forever in our hearts. 

If they could of seen their grandson get married, they would of been so proud of the man he is and of his beautiful bride, Gabriella.

Joyce & Roy were devoted to each other and their family. Robert was their first grandchild and they loved every second of making many happy memories with Robert and all of their grandchildren and their wider family.

We all wish Robert & Gabriella a life full of the most wonderful adventures. 

A tribute to Joyce & Roy Reynolds. 

Joyce was born in London on January 18, 1930 and Roy was born in London on 5th July 1930. Joyce & Roy were married on 26th March 1955 and have 2 children Stephen & Jane as well as 7 grandchildren; Robert, James, Ben, Ava, Molly, Flo & Martha. 

Roy & Joyce were a huge part of Joyce's sister Rosie's life and also of Roy's sister Doris (Doll-Doll). Doris's children Wendy, Val, Elizabeth & Tony all have very fond memories, especially Wendy who spent a lot of her childhood keeping both Roy & Joyce on their toes!

Jane and the family have been fundraising for Ovarian Cancer since 2002 and so far the campigns led by Jane have raised over £18 miillion for vita research into more accurate detection and treatment of Ovarian Cancer & Breast Cancer. 

These valuable funds helped open the first dedicated research centre for this deadly disease that still has alarming death rates, with the UK having some of the worst rates in the world. The Ovarian Cancer Research centre (OCARC) is at Imperial College London and Joyce is remembered as part of a tribute wall where major donors are celebrated.

It's now 20 years since we lost our beloved Mum, Nan, Auntie & friend Joyce and we hope you will help us keep her memory alive as well as continue to raise vital funds so that other women and families do not have to lose their loved ones early. 

We'd like everyone to contribute so please use this tribute to keep Roy & Joyce's memories alive by adding any memories or thoughts you have e.g. by lighting a candle, adding photos/stories or copies of Roy's drawings, and of course if you can by donating (no matter how small because every single penny helps).

Joyce & Roy are continually in our thoughts, much loved and will always be remembered.
