Dear Sandy, Dawn, Shelly,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's death from Gary, and regret not knowing sooner so I could have paid my respects in person. Joyce was a wonderful woman who welcomed everyone into her home and made everyone feel like family. She had a great sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. I hope you are all moving through you grief as well as can be expected. You have my deepest sympathy.
Love,
Barb Sullivan

Dear Family,
I worked with Joyce at the Hamburg Telephone office many years ago. She was a delightful co-worker and a good friend. I also was a good friend of Paul. Our friendship went back to our teen years. I'm sure they will have a special place in Heaven.

To The Jensen Family:

I was sorry to read of your Mom's passing. I met your Mom through Silver Sneakers and Foot Patrol. She was such a sweet person, and I enjoyed our time together. I was with her on the Cape Cod Trip in September 2008 and didn't realize she was ill even then.
God has choosen a very special person to be one of his angels.
Always remember, your Mom touched many lives through her short time here on earth and I am honored to have been one of them.
God Bless and I will keep your family in my prayers.

Joyce was a dear Friend and the best neighbor anyone could ask for. When we joined Seniors, it was one of the best things for us to do. It was a good time for both of us. Joyce made many more friends and everyone was a good friend to her. Joyce will be sadly missed. To me, I will miss her every day, but as spring appears, I will pictuire Joyce planting her flowers in heaven. We will never forget such a lovely person.
Love,
Sally & George

Joyce was a great lady and a wonderful sprite of a neighbor, someone who made an imprint on our hearts even though she only lived here a short time, compared to others on the street. I never saw such love - first that care-giving for her Paul, and then, in these past dark and bitter weeks, how her family responded to her. As neighbors, we thought that this was so special. And it was. She is walking with the angels now, chatting with them. I cannot imagine Joyce not being able to speak. That brought me up short and made me know how close she was getting to being away but never out of our hearts. It is so hard. Peace to all of you, and so much love.
Marianne and Paul Savino
