We were privileged to have Joyce as our daughter's first grade teacher; the last class before her retirement. We still have the book she gave to each and every student, personalized with a special message. She was everything a teacher should be and one of the kindest people we have ever known. The fact that many of her former "first graders" are mourning her loss, speaks to her ability to make a lasting connection with them. We hope that the Krasko family finds peace in knowing that there is a part of Joyce that lives on in every one of her students. With deepest sympathy

Ray and Melissa, may God bless you and help get you through this terrible time. I was so fortunate to have grown up with Joyce as my cousin. She was such a big, positive part of my childhood, and our times playing together and the fun we had at family holiday gatherings and parties will always be my favorite memories. She will be missed by all.
