Larry, Paul and I were so sorry to hear of Joyces' passing. I fondly remember growing up with all the cousins and listening to Joyce play the piano. I know she will be missed by so many people whose lives she touched. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Larry,
I am so very sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. She was so much fun to be around and so very talented. She shared those talents through her teaching and in later years with her volunteer work at senior centers. I'm sure they all loved her and the joy she must have brought to them. I can still see us cousins sitting around Uncle Charlie and Aunt Doris's piano with Joyce playing away and us singing our little hearts out! May you find peace in the coming days. Please accept my deepest condolences. Love, Judy
