Dear Joy,

I happen to be in this section viewing the passing of a friend when I noticed Joyce.

I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a lovely lady and we had great fun with her therapy at Broadway Plaza.

God Bless you and your family,

You are in our prayers. While we did now know your mother, know that we are thinking of you as you grieve her passing to a better place. Our parents leave us as their legacy as they join our Lord in his kingdom. Knowing you assures me she must have been a proud and thoughtful parent.

Todd and Joy, your mom was like a second mother to me when I was a boy. She was always so kind and gracious to everyone. All of our lives have been made much brighter by her remarkable life, and now heaven is much richer for her arrival home! Our prayers are with you and all of the extended family, but our hearts are celebrating with you at her coronation day in our Father's house. God bless you.
