When I first started work at Carolina Manor, it took me a little while to really get to know Joyce. She was stubborn and always said what was on her mind. I really got close to her the last few months and will miss her dearly. Thoughts are with the family always...

What a delight, Joyce always was. The last few months have been difficult for her. Everytime we went to visit Valgene, we visited Joyce. She will be missed on earth, but she is rejoicing with our Lord. May God be with your family.
