To the Bixby family my thoughts and prayers go out too. Joyce's memorial was very nice. I know she was looking down on us when we sang a Christmas song saying that is what I wanted. We will miss her.

Butch and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. What a great lady! I will miss her at church sitting by the entry door to worship. I will remember being invited to your home for a Christmas luncheon and all of Joyce's prized Christmas decorations. What a collection old and new. I'm glad that she was my friend. Ruth Brauer

I have known Joyce for long time. First worked with her at Seneca, then I got her to join ABWA. For the past several years Joyce had this wonderful Christmas dinner. We will miss you.
