A beautiful light in our world has dimmed with Joyce leaving it; although, Heaven has acquired a brilliant illumination with her arrival, as the newest member of the Communion of Saints. I was blest to experience her light while working with her at the Tewksbury Public Library.

I am so sorry for this family. Joyce was always such a pleasant lady at the library and very helpful as well. She always had a nice smile and always asked; "How are you" to me. I will certainly miss that smile she always showed me.

God Bless her.
