Dear Uncle Wayne, David, Donna, & Jill...I know all of you will miss Aunt Joyce tremendously. She was a beautiful person and I will always remember her sweet-loving spirit as well as her beautiful smile. I will keep all of you in prayer during this time of grieving...After 2 years I still miss Mama (Claire) tremendously and I'm sure the coming months will be difficult for all of you. Aunt Joyce was a tremendous sister to Mama...always encouraging with words of love and acts of kindness. May the Lord comfort your hearts as only He is able to do. With love, Barbara (Sandiford) Guinan

Wayne and family. I am so sorry that I did not know that Joyce was seriously ill. When I saw you guys a few months ago, she gave no indication that there was a problem and was her usual smiling self. You will all be in our prayers. Joyce was an exceptionally nice person. As you know, she and I graduated from high school together. Stanley sends his regards, as well.
Love to all, Sandra & Stanley Mizell
