Joyce, It's been years since I've seen you, but I remember very fondly my years at Sam. Your dad was my favorite education teacher and I was always touched by how proud he was of your mom and her accomplishments. My prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

Hi, Joyce,
I was so sorry to hear that your Mother had passed away. I had no idea what an accomplished woman she was. Now I completely understand when you speak about her--WHAT a lady. I had to print the obituary out for my husband to read, too.
You're in my thoughts and prayers in the lonely days ahead without her presence in your life. Linda Smith

Although this is a hard time for all of you, I know of your inner strength and that you will use that strength in dealing with...
