Ted & Family,
I have written to Joyce for over 40+years. We were penpals and I really enjoyed writing to her and have many memories of our families growing up over the years. Will miss her letters in my mailbox since I always enjoy hearing from Joyce. She always made my day.
My thought are with Ted and the family I got to know through the yrs. We never met but over the years we were really close. Will miss her letters in my box. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Sincerely,
Ruth Budreau
