Mr. Wyma, Bill and I extend our condolences to you in the loss of your dear wife. We were both students of yours in high school and saw you at my high school reunion last year. It was good to see you and Joyce there. Prayers of comfort and joy as you walk the journey before you. May this Easter be especially meaningful as she celebrates in heaven and we celebrate the promise of redemption fully paid for us in Jesus!

Art, our condolences to you in the loss of Joyce. There are so many great memories of the two of you.....helping folks in need, worshipping with you at Maranatha, seeing you at our concerts, and chatting with you at Jackie's. Joyce will be missed.

Art and Family. Heaven has gained a precious woman of God. I was so blest to have Joyce in my life when she and Art were Hospice Volunteers. Both of them were kind, caring and loving volunteers. I enjoyed working side by side with Joyce as she worked with me in the Hospice Office assisting me as the Volunteer Coordinator. We not only worked together, but became friends. What a blessing for me. When I left Hospice she gave me an Angel which I cherish to this day. May God grant you comfort and peace as you celebrate Joyce's life and the difference that she made in so many lives.
