Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary

Our beloved founder and leader passed away
on the afternoon of Monday, August 18th, 2008.

Her funeral was on Friday, August 22, 2008.

Her family and everyone connected with the
Sanctuary wishes to thank people for their kind words,
prayers and thoughts at this difficult time.

Joyce's biggest wish was for the Sanctuary to
carry on her work and every effort is being made to ensure that her dreams come true.

1929 - 2008
"When you're weary, feeling small.
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all."
--Paul Simon

I AM NOT THERE
Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush;

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.
