Loved her so much. She was the sister I never had. She did so much for us, took care of my boys while I was in the hospital, let Jesse stay with her when he couldn't get home after the Platt River flood. Anything we needed she was always there. Such a super person.

Joyce was so dear to our family. She cared for our sons, Brian and Mark Davidson, in the Eighties. They speak of her often and we could not have found a better person to care for our young sons. We always felt they were safe and in loving hands with Joyce. She was loving, warm, caring, nurturing, and yet they knew they're limits with Joyce (and Claud). Joyce will always be in our hearts and remembered as that special person in their early years. We are so glad she and Claud were able to come to their college and high school graduation parties, so she could see what wonderful young men they became...and she shared a big part in that. Thank you, Joyce, for dedicating your life to so many young lives. We will always remember you.
