I just read the condolences that I entered on July 4, 2020 and I meant to say she passed on March 6, 2020 instead of in March 6, 2020. I also mispelled therr instead of there. Thanks

I just found out that Mrs. Joyce passed in March 6, 2020. She was my tax preparer for several years through H&R Block. We would have the best time talking while working on my taxes. Therr is no doubt, she was a special lady. My prayers go out to the family and may God continue to keep his loving arms around the family.
