Dottie Joyce, never crossed her path without a smile on her face, and Mine. Grammy Joyce was awesome, a nwoman of class and formidable character, which survices in her children and grand children. But her legacy is her love of life and people. Much to be admired and respected...and missed. Love to you and the Joyce Family, the Pelletiers
