I have so many great memories of Aunt Joyce, Howie and all my cousins as a young girl. The parties, family gatherings, the parties! She was always happy and loving to everyone.

Aunt Joyce will be missed, but let your memories serve as comfort in this time. I pray for her and all the family and truly wish I could be there to celebrate her life with everyone October 31, 2015!

Love,
Stephanie Bouhan & family
