Pete, Cheryl, & Duane,
You may have long forgotten me from Severn, but my sister Rose Marie (Hood) Graham sent me a note of Joyce's passing.
I have such strong memories from youth of her kind, gentle, and caring manner that I just wanted to let you know from across the years that she touched my life. Deepest sympathies and kind memories to you and the entire family.
