I will miss her beautiful smile, phone calls , and our lunches together. I am so thankful that God allowed our paths to reconnect these past five years. She shared with me things about my Mom and my grandparents that I would never have known had our paths not reconnected. We would drive around Tarpon and 'remember--the way it used to be'. That was always fun! She was my Mom's good friend---they lived across the street from each other. My mom named me after her--she would introduce me as her god daughter!! I liked that! she did my hair for my wedding 45 years ago-where does time go?? She loved you all so very much. Oh yes, I will miss being with her at the recital on the 17th--I always looked forward to that--I will still be there, and will be bringing my granddaughter , Katie with me. I'm sad too that Joyce didn't get to see Katie with her braces-- she was always concerned regarding her teeth!!! She would love them now. Know that I am there today in heart and spirit and we all know she is in a beautiful place , at peace and we will see her again one day. Love, Hugs and prayers to you, Charlotte and family, Petra and family, Greg and Lynn, and brother E.Z. Joyce B. Strickland
