When a cousin passes, it saddens me greatly. She was at my house several years ago celebrating our aunt´s 90th birthday. Condolences to her family.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my former coworker and fellow NBD Bank teller, Joyce. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.
I'll always cherish the memories of the fun times we had together at work, especially working the drive-thru. Her presence brought warmth and positivity to our workplace, and she will be greatly missed.
