Yesterday

I was a friend of Joyce for many years , as a physician colleague at Maimonides . We shared a love a ballet and went to several performances together at LIncoln Center. She was a wonderful , warm , smart and caring friend who very devoted to her nieces- she often spoke about them and their accomplishments with great pride and love.
