Joyce Platt

Memories of Joyce - Baby sister - what a joy! - I can remember the anticipation we had waiting for Joyce's birth and the joy she has brought into my life ever since - - as a baby and toddler I got to sew for her and help take care of her - - and as a little girl and teen she followed me around and I got to take her places with me --and as a wife and mother I got to spend summers with her in Ohio. She has been a real blessing to me her entire life and I will miss her so much. Many times in...

I felt very blessed that Dwight, Jennie and I were able to go to Ohio May 27th and arrived May 28th. We were very thankful to be there and help care for Joyce and spend the time with her. It was a real blessing to have that special time with her. I appreciate looking back on the hours I sat with her and held her hand and promised we would not leave her alone. During that time I thought about the scripture "Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will...

When I try to imagine your grief, the gamut of emotions you must be feeling, I have no words to say that will make it better. Please know that I love you all very much. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the funeral, but you have been often in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever need to get away, North Idaho is a lovely, restful place! Love, Linnie and Cameron

Julie, Dennis, Jeff, Amy and Jon- Where do I even begin to express my sadness over the loss of such a wonderful sweet aunt. I'm saddened all the more knowing my kids will never really get to know what a super aunt they had. I have so many fond memories of Aunt Joyce,staying up late playing games, and she always knew how to make me laugh, she had such a great sense of humor, she was one of the women i loved and admired a great deal in my life,and i see her sweet spirit and love of others...

Dear Julie, Dennie, Jeffrey, Amy, and Jonnie, we loved your mom, there are many, many precious memories we will always hold dear. Know that we love you all and pray much for you, are here for you if you need us. Connie and David Chancellor and family

Jonathan & I talked about our last visit and discussed every year how we could come back to OH. We are incredibly sad - I will miss the looong stories, the funny smile, the sillies, the serious talks. I said more than once that I needed to check back in down the road for some parenting suggestions & I will miss that opportunity. I will miss her zest and the way interesting things just seemed to happen when Joyce was around!

Dear Julie, Dennis, Jeff, Amy and Jonnie,

My mother told me one time that your mom was the one who came and stayed with my older brothers so that she and Daddy could go to the hospital the night I was born. She was there to help out when my life began, and she has been a special part of the rest of it. What stands out particularly - an 8th birthday party at your house when we were on the road and visiting before heading off to campmeeting, complete with a cake with orange icing...
