In January, Mrs. So'Brien was diagnosed with cancer. She faced this illness with courage and grace, and is now held in God's love and care. Due to the travel and gathering restrictions of COVID-19, we chose to honor Mrs. Joyce So'Brien with a living virtual celebration of her life held Thursday, August 20th. We sincerely want to thank those who were able to attend this live event. If you were unable to attend, you may view this service in its entirety via the link below.

Hi Aunty Joyce, What a wonderful experience it was to participate in this activity. So many memories were brought to mind and I learnt so much about your life. Everyone remembers you just as I do; graceful, peaceful, a joy to spend time with. As a child you made me feel as though I was as important and special as any adult, a rare thing to find. I remember eating flying fish in Barbados and posing for pictures on the beach. I remember seeing snow for the first time in Florida. Thank you for being there and blessing us for wedding. Mom and Dad were especially glad that you were there. I love you so much. Go with God my dear sweet aunt. Cheryl Rajkumar-Maharaj, nee So'Brien Trinidad and Tobago

To our dearest Aunt Joyce, We send warm and heartfelt greetings from our family to yours. It is an honour to share with you on behalf of the So'Brien clan who came from Trinidad and Tobago, now scattered across the globe. As I look through the many shared family photos and writings we are overwhelmed by the love and bond you have created. In particular, your letter and dedication to my mother Dorina, your "sister girl" meant the world to us and I was also touched when you asked for a copy of the life story of my father Christopher So'Brien, in his own words. You are a pioneer and an ambassador who has broken through traditions of culture, country and belief. You help us to remember our origins, be present in the moment and look forward to a future where we do not need to always accept the world as it is. I somehow feel obliged to mention your exceptional kids and grandkids - what a lovely blend of gene pools with such beauty, intelligence and empathy. Your legacy is safe in their hands. We thank you, admire you and we love you. Forever yours, -Derrick and all the So'Briens

Aunt Joyce, you knew my parents before Selby and I were born. We cherish the time that we were able to spend together in Huntsville. You are such a beautiful person. God has richly blessed you with 94 years of life. We realize that Jesus is going to allow you enter into His rest soon. Jesus is coming very soon so your rest will be short. We just want to thank you for being part of our lives. Love, Selby and Courtenay Osborne

Thank you for your encouraging words, thoughtfulness, kindness, and the love you have always shared. I still have that little purple birthday book you gave me almost five years ago! Love you always! By the way, I just found a few beautiful photos (4) of you! You sure look beautiful in every frame! You are God's classy lady, until we meet again!!!
