Dear Jolene, my sister and family, Here it is over a year since 'Our Mama Joycie's 'was taken from us.I will always remember her SPIRIT, and LOVE for LIFE,FRIENDS,and her FAMILY that meant so much to her.I am honored and blessed to know that i got to love this special woman!, dance with her, hug and laugh, and spend some of the bestest times with a woman that i knew loved me as much as i loved her! The three of us had some of the bestest times together~ when we were on Maui!!! Those times are implanted in my heart and mind forever! A very special woman~ who i will always love and look at her photo in my home.I hope to be as regal as she some day. I love you Jolene, my sister,and friend for life. donnarae

Mama Joyce was a love and a youthful old soul! She will always have a special place in my heart. Her chocolate chip cookies were legendary and her spirit lives on in her children, friends and family.
With much love,
Kharla, Marc, Marcus and Kinsey

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I last saw Joyce almost exactly ten years ago, at a Peterson reunion in Utah. I grew up admiring Joyce and regret that we were not closer.

Jeff, I never met your mom, but she sounds so much like mine..they probably would have been great friends...and maybe now they'll meet "out there" somewhere. God bless you and your family. Best wishes to all of you.

Jeff,i am so saddened to hear the news of your mom's passing. although i lost my dad many, many years ago, I think there is something particularly poignant about the passing of a mother, and my heart goes out to you. Know that my prayers are with you, and know also that with time, this will get easier. Take care of yourself, and rely on others to help you through this. XO, Teri Walsh (Schultz)

I was a patient of Dr. Peterson for 36yrs and Joyce was always so friendly and helpful. I loved to visit with her while waiting for my appointment and many times long after the appointment ended. My sincere condolences to Dr. Peterson and Joyce's entire family. She was a beautiful and gracious lady.

I can only hope to have what you carried inside your spirit. Your sense of humor,love for your family and friends; your dignity and your beauty.
I could go on and on my "lemon cake' friend.

You have your freedom now,and the strength to let us continue to feel your presence wherever we are and your wonderful spirit.
