I met Joyce several years ago through my sister, who was a dear friend to Joyce. I recall how dynamic she was around the office but was still down to earth. She was one of the most giving people I have ever known. She always made time for others that needed a helping hand. She never seemed to see requests from others as a burden of any kind and just smiled and helped out as she could. Her laugh was contagious which made her so enjoyable to be around. I didn´t see her often but she always treated me like a dear friend when I was in Vegas visiting my sister. She will truly be missed.
