We loved Joyce ,never before have I meant such a brave woman who ,s zest for life just lit up a room everytime she would enter it ,You hear this alot but the world truly will be a bit more lonesome without Joyce ,she was always up for anything ,and could turn a ride home into an adventure
So sorry Janice and Sparkie for the passing of Joyce.
I have never forgotten the the people I grew up with.
“May Joyce’s soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.”
I have known Joyce since High School. I use to see her at the Towers when I visited with Edith. We would do catch-up. She will be missed.7
Janice and a Phillip… so very sorry to read of your sister’s passing .
You’re in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time… Cancer is such an incidious disease … it doesn’t respect age or gender
Love to you both

Joyce & I have been friends for years, she lived near me in 2 different places, when I moved to FL. we lost touch, only phone calls, we saw each other at class reunion & had a great time together, so glad we had some time to remember the good times, so sorry for the family, sorry I can’t come up for my good friend. I will think of her often.
Linda and family : The biggest of sympathies to you !! ???????
