My sincerest condolences go out to Joyce's family and friends. I never met her, but I know she had to be a wonderful person if the daughter she raised is any indication.

Joyce was a dear friend with always a smile on her face. We had nice visits with her in So. Carolina when we visited Christine & Paul. She will always be in our hearts & prayers. May the journey she is on now bring her peace. Another beautiful "Angel" is looking down on us. Mike & Roberta
