"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles

when my life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways of happy times

and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry

before the sun of happy memories that I leave when my life is done."

I am so sorry to hear of Joyce's death. She and I connected on FB and we texted often and she always responded to my craziness. I had texted her recently and wondered why I didn't get a response from her. She definitely was a beautiful sweet lady. RIP FRIEND
