I knew Joyce most of my life. She was a good friend of my dad, Joe Sullivan. Joyce took care of me and my sister when we were kids, and I always thought the world of her. She was always good to me and taught me a lot. I remember the day she taught me how to fold sheets and towels. She was a beautiful lady and always had a smile on her face. Love you, sweet lady.
