Joyce was my 2nd mom growing up. Whenever I was at their home, Joyce had a radiant smile and a genuine interest in how things were going for me. If I was a bit down and out, she'd always give me the same smile and advice that "it will all work out Val, don't worry!" I can still hear her voice and advice and see the twinkle in her eye. She was always calm and took things in stride.

I was also blessed with the opportunity to spend time with Joyce on one of her last days...a day I was able to share all she meant to me and what a faithful servant she had been during her lifetime. I can only imagine her beautiful reunion with Stan and our Lord and Savior.

Family members~ You are her legacy, and a beautiful legacy at that. Wishing you strength and God's Peace & Comfort during this difficult time and may fond memories and much love surround you today and in the days ahead. You had a wonderful mother and she will be missed!

I am so sorry for your loss. May the words of our loving heavenly Father bring your family comfort and strength during this most difficult time as He promises to bring our loved ones back to life in a perfect world where there will be no more suffering or death (John 5:28-29 & Revelation 21:4).
