Not sure what to say?

It was such a privilege to know Joyce. Her generosity was exceeded only by her sense of humor. She was a joy to converse with and will be greatly missed on so many levels by so may people. My condolences to all her family and friends. My great consolation is knowing I will see her and Kip again on the other side of this life.

My sincere condolences to you for your loss. I was honored to have been in several Sun Sounds radio theater productions Joyce directed and produced. I was amazed always by her level of commitment and the time and energy she expended to produce a topnotch production. She brought to Sun Sounds a professional attitude and mind set I will always remember. She will continue to set a high standard to which I aspire. We will all miss her.

I feel blessed for the chance to have worked with and known Joyce. Without doubt she was one of the most interesting and engaging ladies I've ever known. Sun Sounds is diminished without her. My deepest sympathies go to her family and friends.

Sincere sympathy to the Totlis family.

I was saddened to learn of Joyce's death, and I send my condolences to her friends and family. I treasured Joyce's wit and her beautiful writing. The arrival of her Christmas card each December was a highlight of the season! I recently read the letters that she had written to Seamus O'Reilly, and remembered her humanity, her intelligence, and her articulateness. I know you will miss her; so will we all.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Thomas (fellow CCM musicologist)
