Kellie, A quick stop by today for a late breakfast. I was so saddened to hear the news from you. I only had the pleasure of meeting your mom twice. From the moment I met her at the diner, through my Linda who your mom had met a few years back, we three had some good laughs. Joyce and you made us feel right at home. After Linda passed I saw your mom once more during a stop by for breakfast. She gave me her card and said, "whenever you're in FL, give a call and stop by for a cocktail!" I regret not having taken her up on that invitation as I'm sure we would have had many laughs and great conversation! Keep on keepin' on with the diner, I may not get up there often, but I SO enjoy the warm welcome when I do stop by. May God Bless Joyce, you and your family.

To Joyce's Family, Sylvia and I were so lucky to have just happened to have lived in the same community as your incredible mother. She made us smile and laugh all the time and her wisdom was bar none the best. Our hearts cracked when she decided to sell her place in Florida however she was so happy to move home. But today hearing of her passing, our hearts are now completely broken. Thank you for sharing Joycie with u s we loved her so. So sorry for your loss. Our love, Jeri and Sylvia.
