Debbie,
We were friends so long ago, when I saw your Moms name on the 1st aid board today I was shocked! I am so sorry for your loss and remember your mom as one of the Moms on the block that would open her door to all the kids and she loved every minute of having her childrens friends over, we always had fun. She was a Great woman.
I know you will miss her deeply as I do my Mom but she is now well and up in heaven and will always be watching over all of you.
please extend my sympathys to your Dad and brother and sisters.

To the family of Joyce
I worked with Joyce at the transportation office and on the bus many times. I loved her. She was a great woman. So sorry for your loss, I am saddened by the thought that she is no longer here, but I also know she is looking down on all of those she touched. God has another angel now!!
Thanks Joyce for the honor of knowing you.

Our hearts hurt, not for the pain of losing Joyce, but for the joy of having known her.
Joyce showed the members of Herbertsville First Aid squad what dedication is as well as what it means to serve. She will be as missed as she was loved.

Mom,
Words can't describe how sad I am.
You were always my best friend. I feel so selfish wanting you to stay, when you needed to go. Mom, all I can say is you are home now, and I will see you again someday.
Love you with all my heart,
Debs

Joyce, Your 33 years of dedicated service to the township of Brick as a member of the Herbertsville First Aid Squad is a testament to the way you lived your life. You were always willing to lend a hand to help others in their time of need. "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
My friend, you will be sorely missed.
