Yesterday

My prayers are with the family at this time of loss. Joyce was loved and held in high regard to our family. We have so many memories, me growing up she was ever present. Later stopping by just to chat or swing on the porch. Sometimes driving down North Street, we would wave big as we passed by, she always had a smile for us. Her words of instruction and guidance are always a part of me. Thankful for who Joyce was to us and many others she touched. Continued prayers for comfort are going up.
