Just saw Joyce two weeks ago at the grocery store. Talked about Ken and some of our mutual friends. She was upbeat as always. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Rest in peace as perhaps you are now with loved ones that have passed on before you.
Thank you. Thank you for always being so kind to me and for all of the great memories that you helped create when Dave and I were friends starting back in the 1970's. Over the decades thoughts of such are still with me. Certain moments clear and vivid as if they were yesterday. Unforgettable, just as you and your very distinct voice. Once again, thank you.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Joyce. One of the kindest, gentlest, and unshakeable people I have met in arc of my own life. She was a pillar of strength for many in good times and bad. She had woven together one of the most interesting lives lived shared with her husband Ken and their children Michael and David and another generation with her grand daughters. I think you call a life lived like that a legacy. I'm glad she touched mine.
