Linda, Jack, Carrie and Joe, I couldnt believe Joyces passing when I heard the news. Carla, Kathy, and myself just visited with her and laughed a lot when we were in the restaurant celebrating Carlas birthday on August 8. She had such a welcoming and infectious laughter, and we just so enjoyed her in the restaurant. She will truly be missed. Dan and I are so sorry for this sudden and devasting loss in your lives.

Joyce was one in 1 million. Her smile was so real. She was a friend to everyone. My heart hurts for all her family. God needed her as his special angel.
She was always with a smile, ready to help people, and a delight to be with. We are proud to have had her as a first cousin.
