Joyce was very much loved wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She had many ailments but carried on as well as she could. Please keep her family in your prayers.
We will miss Joyce. Such a great lady. Sandy and family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry to hear this sad news. Joyce was always a very sweet lady and was alway a nice neighbor to my dad, too. My prayers are with Sandy and the whole family.
