My condolences to Joyce's family and friends on her passing. I had the pleasure of knowing her from my being a nurse at St. Vincent's in NYC. I worked as a nurse on the AIDS Unit and would see her working tirelessly with so much compassion and showing dignity to all. She was a true friend to the HIV/ADS community. Thank you Joyce for all you did.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Joyce was a wonderful, generous friend and doctor. I admired her; she was a maverick and did what she thought was best for her patients. My friendship with Joyce began when we both worked at St. Vincent's Hospital during the HIV/AIDS crisis. I will miss her. I am sorry that I wasn't able to attend her funeral. I know she loved her children and grandchildren. May their memories of her bring comfort.

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time of grieving. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
