Joyce was an amazing lady, a joy to be around and a friend to all who knew her. We will miss her deeply. We know that death is natural - like the closing of a door, as we start upon a journey to a new and distant shore. So let our grief be softened and yield not to despair. We have only placed our loved one in the "Loving Father's Care."
