Not sure what to say?

We first met Joyce when we started to attend All Saints' Episcopal Church close to 30 years ago and she has been a dear friend since then. She was my mentor in French cooking and I learned so much from her classes in calligraphy and gilding. She and Herm are godparents to our daughter Kirsten, and we are going to miss her terribly. Joyce had a strong faith in our Lord and I know God's love will comfort Herm and her family during this sad time. Linda, Steve, Ian, and Kirsten Stewart

I met Joyce over 20 years ago and she was my instructor in gilding. Such a fantastic gilder and teacher she was. It was a priviledge to be in one of her classes. Her work has truly inspired the Goldbugs at every turn. She was always so upbeat about things and a real treasure to know. We will miss her very much to say the least. Our condolences go to Herman and his family.
Our best,
Pat and Patty Sackinger

We will miss her. She was a good friend, and a terrific mentor. We learned so much from Joyce. We will not forget her.
