I was so sorry to learn about both my friend Joyce and her mother's passing. They were both very special people. And although I haven't been in touch with them often since I moved away from Charleston in 1990. I had recently tried all previous phone numbers and addresses that I had for Joyce and her mother and also tried to locate her through the internet without success. I finally contacted a mutual friend who told me he thought she had passed. So then I tried to find her through the obits; that is when I found her mother's obit. My sincere condolences to the family on the passing of both Joyce and her mother.
