Joyce and I loved to compare notes on our many trips back and forth between DC and Urbana. What a joy she was on this earth. I just know that she and Bud are dancing and waving the American flag in the stars above. Heaven is happy to welcome her. There was no one finer...

I am sorry for your loss. I know she was ready to join your dad. She was always so pleasant and ready to talk when I would go into her room in assisted living and later the nursing home. We would many times have somewhat long conversations. She will be missed.

Sending great respect and remembering frond memories of your Mom. Clancy, Cate and Roy, your Mom gave generously of her self to all she encountered. Her spirit was contagious and it was such a joy to spend time with her. Our shared time was exciting and so memorable and she was a hugh part of my memories of those years. She spoke of her love for you three often during our time.
God speed Joyce and peace be with your family.

She was always very kind to me when I visited her at her house and she always had such kind words for my husband. She admired him so much. she was such an asset to our community, and I got to know her more through the Daughters of the American .Revolution. She will be midsed.

Clancy, Kate, Roy--I am so sorry to hear about the passing of my FAVORITE aunt.
Aunt Joyce was very special to me. We communicated from time to time. I feel especially sad that I will not be able to attend the funeral. I am scheduled for heart surgery on February 3rd. I missed your fathers due to Covid and now this issue. My body won't be there but may mind and heart? WILL BE!!!
Love and Prayers

We met Joyce and Bud at the YMCA. We had many good discussions and parties for several years. We missed them both when health curtailed their activities. Lovely people and so down to earth.
