My heart aches for your loss, she was like a second Mom to me. She would always call up and say "Susie, I'm making fried chicken, are you coming over for dinner?" The best fried chicken in the world. I think I spent more time at Joyce's house than my own and then when I moved and was there on weekends it was either spending the night there with Donna or down the street at Tina's. My prayers are with you all....Love you....
