Jerry, Lori and Kristen,
I just found out from Jocelin about the loss of Joyce and I was so sad to hear this. I remember Jocelin telling me when the cancer had started but I am sorry to hear it has taken this lovely woman away. I so remember Joyce from all the family gatherings and what a gentile and wonderful soul she was. I remember all of you, much younger of course. and my prayers for you all is that the years of memories will bring you joy & laughter as you grieve your loss. Many prayers sent your way. Pam Poston Hardee
