Joyce has been gone for a year, but is not forgotten. She is remembered, loved, talked about and will be a constant companion to me forever.

Lee and family,
Our heart breaks for the loss of Joyce. We have such wonderful memories of our times at Juniper Ridge. Joyce's warm smile, beautiful eyes, and sincere friendship will be greatly missed. She will always be with us in our hearts.

There are so many things to tell you about this wonderful woman. I have never known anyone more full of life. She loved it. There were so many things to do, places to go, things to see. With Joyce, she was not a sit still person. Let's play this game, let's try it, it looks like fun. The first thing you know, yes it is fun, you're laughing and having a great time. Let's go see this it-could be a movie, a place, or a thing, but sure enough it was worth it. Pretty soon you begin to realize all these things you were not so sure of, or didn't really care to do, are great. Why? Because she is enjoying them so much you catch her fun and enthusiasm, you are laughing, joking, talking, and in general having a great time.
I have had the gift of her friendship for over fifty years, and it has been one of my greatest blessing, other than my children.
We lived across the street from each other, we had coffee together, watched each other's children, and played cards or games at night. We worked together on weekends, each of us selling different products at stores around town and out.
Then I moved away and we cried. She was mad at me, said we would lose our friendship- NO WAY! No matter how many miles or states apart we were, we had Christmas and vacations together. It might be years sometimes before we would connect again. It was like we had never been apart. We would just sit down and start talking where we had left off. Reminding each other of all the wheres and whens. God willing we will again. Until then, thank you Father for my best friend Joyce.

Greg and Randy, it's hard to remember a time in my life when I didn't love your Mom. She was there for me whenever I needed her- to lend an ear, to give good advice, to share a memory. She was far more than my stepmom, she was my friend. She'll always be a light in my life and one of my favorite people. I love you guys.

Dear Greg & Marta, Randy & Terri,
We are so very sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. We knew she was not doing well, but when we didn't hear any more from you, we thought she must have rallied and come out of it. Our prayers are with you all and we will look forward to seeing you later this month.
Our love,
Aunt Anita & Uncle Bill

Greg, My heart goes out to you, Randy and the family.
You are one of my longest friends --- we met at the apts. after you moved to Claremont from Decatur in 1966 -- and I treasure the fellowship and food you offered after my mom Jean's funeral in 1990. Our mothers are everything and the hole their passing leaves can never be filled, only healed and accepted. Love you, bro. Jill

Our sincere condolences to you Lee, and your family. We enjoyed so much the fun times we had with Joyce here at Juniper Ridge. Red Hats, ponytail canasta, and the many activities we shared will be missing a wonderful and fun lady. Thinking of you during this sorrowful time. Sincerely, John and Caroline Breakey

What a loss! We will miss her fun-loving times together. She was an intelligent person and gave wonderful advice for Tom and I when she was here. We raised our children together and had such fun - especially taking them shopping - at Sears. She will be missed by her many friends and family but God has inherited an angel in heaven. We love you, Joyce.
