Joyce is the most Christ like person I know. Her spirit will be missed by so many people whom she unselfishly served. My goal is to become just like Joyce. I pray God's spirit will bring peace to your hearts as you deal with this
incredible loss. I am a better person because I loved Joyce and was loved by Joyce. Until we meet again dear friend.... Love KIm (Queen)

Dear Susan,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She sounds like a talented, capable woman, just like her daughter. Her gifts and abilities live on in you and your girls. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Oscar,

I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May all your wonderful memories comfort you at this time of grief.

I just learned of Joyce'a passing today and want to express my deepest condolences. She was such a lovely person, so loving, and so giving to others. She was an excellent role model and will be missed by all who knew her. I became acquainted with Joyce through my Blankets for Babies project at Stratford HS. She was so patient with the students and was most deserving of her "Golden Apple" award. She was an asset to our community and her passing will leave a definite void in service to others.

Grief can be so hard during the holidays, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one this holiday season.

This world was graced with your generousity and love. Our prayers are with you and may the Lord bring peace to your hearts.

Dear Oscar and Family! Please accept our heartfelt condolence and expression of sympathy for the passing of your dear mother. May she rest in peace and forever bathe in the light of God's Holiness. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

I was so sorry to hear that such a wonderful woman is gone from this world. When I spoke with her at the beginning of the month she spoke with such love, respect, and admiration of her family. Joyce was a good friend, compassionate, and loving. She taught me much over our time as friends and i am thankful for her friendship. She will be greatly missed. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Love- Angie and Jeff Schwartz

When we went to the nursing home this past week, to bring the gifts she so lovingly made, with the cards she made and had the kids embellish, I knew she was not feeling very well. I am so grateful she allowed us to be a part of her loving ministry. She always referred to herself as our childrens,'black gramma' , but our kids saw no color, she was a wonderful adopted gramma to our kids and a wonderful example of what a friend should be, She was the glue who held so many people togehter, even when she had her 'moments' as she called them, when the bi-polar acted up , but she was honest and true to herself, and was always there for others. My family and I love her and will miss her bunches! Hugs and love to you Joyce, until we meet round in heaven! Kathey, Jim, Siobhan& Josh, Shaina and Shannon
