Bob, we just found out about Joyce's passing. So sorry for your loss, she was a very special lady who certainly had some difficult years. But, she always would speak of the Lord's sovereignty and faithfulness. I still have the wooden "tulip" she gave me! Praying for you.

Just finding out about Joyce's passing....My husband, Bruno, and I enjoyed Joyce and Bob's company on many a motorcycle ride in the 70's and 80's. Joyce was always the sweetest and most knowledgeable woman to talk to and get to know. Rest in Peace, Love to Bob and family, Kathy Niewierowski

Joyce and Bob were good friends and fellow pilots with whom we shared many a good time. We especially appreciated Joyce's kindness and sense of humor. Hopefully all of us "birds of a feather" will flock together again sometime.

Joyce will be missed by her many friends and pilots from Ohio. She was a compassionate nurse and good friend to myself and my husband. I will always cherish the time we spent together and the help she gave to us before my husband's passing. They are up there together now flying with the angels.

We celebrate our friend of seventy plus years, and give thanks for the joy she has brought to so many. We know that Joyce is held securely in God's Love.
