Not sure what to say?

Luke,
I am so sorry for your loss she was a wonderful woman. My greatest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Luke and Jennifer,
I was so sorry to hear about your loss. My heart goes out to the both of you. Joyce was like a second mother to me for several years. She was a wonderful woman and she will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies. Love, Cara

Jenn, I remember how wonderful it was when you and Jeff got married that I gained not only an instant sister but also your mom and Luke in a sometimes difficult to justify way :)

There was never a laugh quite like Joyce's, nor will there ever be again. How amazing a life she led to have touched so many others. I'm blessed to be one of them, for sure! I like how someone earlier put it - "Our loss is Heaven's gain." How true!

Love you so much!

Jennifer & Luke,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. I doubt if you remember us from your days in Smithield or when we visited you in New Castle, but we still think of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Jennifer and Luke
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Words cannot express how much your mom will be missed. She was a part of our lives through the Headstart progam for many years. She taught my son for his first year and those are lessons that will stay with him a lifetime. I know her smile will light up Heaven as it always lit up a room here on Earth. God Bless you both.

Luke and Jennifer,

I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers in this time of need.

Luke and Jennifer,

I was saddened to read of your Mother's passing. Joyce was a great lady! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Luke & Jennifer,
So very sorry to hear about your mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this sad time.
