This is sad news. Joyce and I lived around the corner from each other at Moyers Corners . We became fast friends as we lived in the "boonies" and went through grade school, junior high, and high school together. We were also in band together and had lots of fun. I have sweet memories of Joyce and that beaming smile of hers. RIP, Joyce.

Joyce made Erin a hand embroidered blanket and pillow that I have always cherished, especially now. I will miss the cards we allay got at holidays.
