I will also miss Joyce, the Aunt I was named after. Even though I didn't get to see her very much these last few years, I did think about her often. I will always remember when she came to visit me in Florida, over Halloween, one of her favorite holidays. We made a Haunted House in our garage and she got to be one of the scare people. She had so much fun picking out what mask she was going to wear. We also took her to Universals' Halloween Horror Nights and she had a blast. She was not only a great person, but a great Aunt. Love ya & miss ya!!!

I will miss Aunt Joyce very, very much!! She was always there for me (and everyone else too). She was always happy and loved to have fun. It was really neat having her live so close to me for the past years and it will really be weird not to be able to pop in to see her any old time. I was always welcome, but she never made me feel guilty if I got busy and didn't make the time to visit her as often as I would have liked to. I am also really glad that I had the opportunity to see her through her last days. I will miss you lots, Joyce. Sing a song for me in heaven every now and then.

One memory I will always have of Joyce is her singing and carrying on while wearing a black haired wig and my moms false teeth...right over her own. Also all the times I spent with her at her apartment in Myerstown watching Jeopardy and talking about EVERYTHING. If only one soul in this whole world were to be deemed worthy of heaven, it would be Joyces.

Will always remember the Great times in the creek by her first house in Reading and all the music on the weekends at Grandma & Pops.
