Buddy,Liz, Jay & Family.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Joyce, Charlotte & myself worked together for many years. We were the originals in Recreation at Woodbine. We had some fun back then. Joyce had a strong personality and it brought about some positive outcomes on the job. She befriended quite a few people in her life.
She will be truly missed.
