Frank and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Each of you can take peace knowing that Joyce is now resting comfortably. We will never forget her thoughtfulness and how she liked to provide the greatest cookies and it seemed she would show up at our house with them when we least expected her.

Please know our sympathy and prayers go out to you during this most difficult time. We have such fond memories from many years ago when Daddy and Mama were still alive. God bless each of you.

I remember walking many times down the street with my Mom to visit with Joyce. She and Mom shared the love of sewing and cooking. As a matter of fact, Mom's water broke during one of these visits to Joyce and Frank's kitchen and I was born less than 5 hours later! I am so very saddened to hear of Joyce's passing. Frank, please take comfort in knowing Joyce is at peace. I know she and Mom are in heaven cooking and sewing up a storm! She deeply loved her family and friends and has left an endearing mark on this world that will not diminish with time. I so wish I could attend the services as both of you did for Mom and Dad. Your kindness to Dad after Mom's passing will never be forgotten. Frank, take care of yourself and know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest love to you and Joyce.
