To Joyce's family and friends, we send our deepest sympathy. Joyce was a wonderful neighbor and we will miss her dearly. It won't seem the same when we come back for a visit not to stop on Knoerl and chat awhile. May the gates of heaven be opened wide and may there be a cat waiting for her.

Would like to express our sincere sympathy to the family of Aunt Joyce. I have fond memories of dinner parties at Aunt Joyce & Uncle Ed's home and specifically remember how enchanted I was with their beautiful white christmas tree with the blue bulbs. I loved their tree so much that I bought a white christmas tree and decorated it every year with a different colored bulb. My husband and children thought I was a little cooky - but one could only understand it if you had seen their tree personally, it was out of this world. Aunt Joyce will be sadly missed.
