Joyce,
You meant so much to soooo many people and touched so many lives. I know a lot of people are happy to have a new angel in heaven. We didn't know each other well at US Airways, but you were so well loved. God Bless you & your amazing family.

Simple words cannot express the emptiness that Joyce has left, not only for her family at home, but for the family that she created, wherever she went. She brought a sense of peace and tranquility to our world, and the knowledge that there was indeed, a divine plan, for her, and for us all. Although I do not pretend to understand what the plan is, I am at peace now, knowing that she was true to her faith, and had placed her life in the hands of, and to the will of God. I am grateful for the time I had with my dear friend, and I am grateful to know that she will soar above us all, watching down, with love and above all, peace. I will always remember her gentle manner, the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed, and above all, the love that she brought to my life. Fly high, dear one…..

Dear Jonathan and Family, your are in my heart and prayers. Joyce touched the hearts of so many. She was a person whose grace, decency and wisdom I and so many others admired. I have many memories. I met Joyce long ago when she first came to America West, we worked together often. Then years would go by, decades, and we met again on the Hawaii flights. We would talk in the back galley all night long on the flight home. From Joyce in these past years I have learned so much. I am a better person for knowing her. I hope that you, her family, can find solace in knowing how much Joyce meant to me and so many of us at US Airways. Joyce will live always in my memories. I loved her.
