My dear sweet Joyce, knowing you over the last 20 years has truly been a gift! My condolences to the entire Bradley Family . Although I have never met your sons or grandchildren, I feel as if I know them. All the stories and such great pride you had for your grandchildren and all their interests I truly enjoyed all the pictures you shared of them with me. March madness is around the corner.... Which reminds me of your Family Bracket! I hope someone in your family fills a bracket out for you guys this year! Lastly the love and devotion that you and Dan portrayed is so very special, I believe you Faith had a hand in it. And thank you Joyce for all the cookies you made over the years . I will miss you very much my FRIEND Denny Grittini Dan I´m so sorry I can´t not attend the mass , I have to work. I will be sending masses for Joyce I think she like that more than flowers.
