I have many fond memories of Joyce. From my childhood years as I rode her bus to school and now more recently as I would respond to her call and transport her as the need arose. Joyce once said that I was just returning the favor. Joyce was always a pleasure to see, no matter what was going on. I know that she is happy to be with her Edgie once again. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family during this most difficult of times.
