Joyce S. Battaglia

Dear Colin & Taylor,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. If there is anything or anyway we can help, please let us know. The whole Montessori community is so saddened by this. Joyce was always so friendly to everyone. Be strong in the Lord and have faith that she is happy now. Take care.

Hi Dean & family,
I am so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing my heart felt condolences go out to Collin, Taylor and you Dean as well as Bobby Faye and family I am sure Joyce will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. Joyce was way too young to leave us so soon. I know how hard it is to lose a mom so unexpectedly. Hang on to the knowledge that Joyce is now visiting with passed on family, pets and horses on the other side of the rainbow bridge. You will all meet again. I only knew her for a short time at Brookwood but she always treated me with warmth and friendliness. She seemed to like everyone and greeted us all with a smile and hug. I will miss her.

Dear Dean, Colin and Taylor…my sincerest condolences to you and your whole family. Joyce was a special person and I truly believe that she had a positive impact on the lives of everyone she came in contact with. My continued love for horses is in fact a reflection of Joyce’s impact on my life.

With my deepest sympathies,
Jeremy Bohner and family

Joyce had a lovely, generous spirit. She will be missed. My deepest sympathies to Colin and Taylor.

Dear Dean, Colin & Taylor,
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
My heart goes out to you.
Sincerely,
Kate Ballew

Joyce was always a lovely, gracious lady and she will be missed. My most sincere condolences to Taylor and Collin and all of her family.

Dear Dean, Colin and Taylor,
We are all heartbroken. Abby is completely beside herself with emotion - she loved Joyce with a deep and sincere love. Joyce gave Abby the gift of a lifetime by showing her the joy in riding and competing. There was a period of time for quite awhile Joyce was like a second mother to Abby - and I say that with no jealousy as her mom! Joyce always treated Abby and our family with the utmost kindness. I will never forget the sparkle in her smiling eyes. ...

Joyce was an wonderful person with a sweet soul. She will be missed by her extended family.
