Dear Bruce, Linda and families............
My husband, John, and I first met Joyce at your Uncle Howard's and my sister, Marion's wedding in August 1961. We saw each other again at Howard's funeral in Emmanus, Pa., in January 1999. However, we did talk by telephone over the years and I always thought of and will remember your mother as a concerned, kind, and loving person who was always ready to help. My nephew, Howard, and your Uncle Howard told me how much your mother did for them. Our deepest sympathies from John and me. Sincerely, Lorraine and John Molnar

My Aunt Joyce was so kind to welcome my father and I to her house when we first moved to Allentown from Los Angeles California.I have stayed in touch with Aunt Joyce every week since I left Allentown and I will miss her very much.

Joyce was a wonderful, kind and energetic lady. When we moved to Old Zionsville from NY she made sure my family felt welcome. Joyce brought me to her favorite nurseries and Amish stores and we made it an annual event to fill up my car with all the plants and goodies we liked.

I will miss seeing my wonderful neighbor and hearing her call my name from across the street.

I'm sure everyone in Old Zionsville will miss seeing Joyce zipping around in her car and spreading her kindness.
