Thelma,
Our family has thought of you and John often during the past year. Our father, Howard Joyce, was John's roommate for a time at Clapp's. John was a delightful man who loved his family and was kind to all who visited the room. Thelma, we will be praying for you and your family during this difficult time, knowing God will care for you safely each day. With love and compassion, The Joyce Daughters: Louise Joyce Brown (TX), Edna Joyce Lee, and Sharon Joyce Bass.
