To Joyce's family,
I enjoyed working with Joyce at MMC on the Rehab unit. She and I had a lot of the same beliefs and values. I know she has suffered for quite a while and now I know she is at peace in the hands of her Father in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joyce was in the RCIA class at church and we were confirmed on the same day. She was a beautiful lady, an inspiration and a gift from God. She never complained and really made a positive impact on me. She will be missed.
