Not sure what to say?

Sorry for the loss of Joyce. I will always remember her and Leland.

Patrick and Betty,

Your mother was a very lucky lady.
In spite of her diagnosis she continued to live her life to the fullest. She was able to spend her days with friends and family and do what she loved most- ingo and eating out. She had your love and support and guidance and a faith like I have never seen.
May God give you peace and joy knowing that you made her happy, you gave her so much. Enjoy the many memories you have of your Mom and be thankful for the bond you had with...

May the memories you shared keep Joyce close to you in spirit and thought and always in your heart, today and forever.

We will truly miss Joyce as she was and always will be a special person who touched our lives.

To Joyce's family:
sorry to hear of the loss of Joyce. She and Lee were good friends to us when we pastored the church in Middleton. We played games with them and went out to eat and to the mall on several occasions. They came to our church to suppers and special events and we had lots of good times together. Her and Lee are finally together with the Lord. Our love and prayers to the family.
