To the brothers of "Other Mother.." I was deeply saddened to hear of her transition. She is now with "Daddy" and they are both happily resting in the arms of the Lord. They gave us all many memories and taught us alot. Now is the time for all of us to practice and live by their teachings and touch as many lives as they did while here. God is with you and be comforted to know they brought many of us together as family.
Love to everyone,
Jenean

To: Tony, Michael, and Lee,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and send my sincere condolences.
Working with Joyce for so many years I considered her family. Though I had not seen her since early in the year when she was in the hospital I spoke of her often to mutual friends. May all the very good memories sustain you during this painful time. God Bless each one of you.
