When Joyce lived on Lake St. in Elmira, she used to ride the church bus that would take her to Elmira Christian Center. Joyce was a lovely person and she had a heart of gold. She could be seen bringing her Bible. She invited her 'friends' as well. Joyce was quick with a retort and provided much laughter. I don't think I ever saw her filled with sadness. She was always filled with joy. Her personality was warm and loving. Joyce, we will miss you and will meet you in Heaven.
