I´ve known Joyce since the mid-80s. She always had a positive spirit and could light up any room with her enthusiasm. She was warm, welcoming, and made everyone around her feel valued.
Her love for her community was unmistakable-she devoted herself wholeheartedly to helping others succeed. Joyce was truly a beautiful human being.
Now she will be our guardian angel, watching over us.
Joyce, we will all miss you.
Until we meet again...
You will forever be in my heart and never forgotten....Dr Greg
