Dear Ray, Deanna and Kara,

We remember Joyce going to "The Grove" with her beach bag in hand and rolled up rattan style beach mat in the other with music playing from the radio inside the house. We also will always cherish the many and wonderful Kendall road conversations and memories that we had with Joyce. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Ray, Deanna, and Kara,

I was sorry to hear about Joyce -- she and Ray were so kind after my father died. I particularly remember Joyce for her lasagna, Swedish meatballs, delicious baked goods, and sweet smile. I think of you all often, and my thoughts are with you now.

Dear Ray and family,

While you sorrow, she, whom you love and miss, is rejoicing. She has entered into that rest, where there is peace and joy forevermore.
May the Lord comfort you in this time knowing that one day you will be reunited with her over there.
