Hello, Leyland-Kayes: So sorry to have heard the news about Aunt Joyce. As, I am afraid, distance, time and circumstances of life, have prevented better contact with all. I do think of you all often and wonder how we are all doing. I have great memories of Aunt Joyce..she such an infectious smile and soft voice. My sympathy to Ron, Ricki, Bobbie and Vicki.
