To the Buis girls and family.
I am sorry to hear about your mom's passing. As families we shared some of the struggles with an aging parent and chronic illness.
Find comfort in knowing you took care and loved her up to her final days.
There are so many memorable moments as neighbors and playing in a golf league that we can smile about.
She was so generous with always asking about our families once we grew up and move on with adult lives and responsibilities.
We were all truly blessed with her in our lives.
Take care .

How I remember Joyce always being on top of having the best and most presentable three girls in Maplewood neighborhood. She seemed to make motherhood easy. And then she found time to go golfing and playing cards. I admired her. It was a nice time having your family around the corner from us and thank you for your friendship.

For the short time I knew you, you claimed a spot in my heart. The moments we shared will always be cherished. I'll miss singing you a lullaby before you go to sleep. I'll miss your sweet laugh. It was such an honor taking care of you. The lyrics I sang were true and always will be, "You'll be in my heart, always". I love you Joyce and will miss you so much.
Much love, Noella

Joyce you were one od a kind for sure. It was truly and honor to be able to take care of you. The many laughs, hugs, and love that passed between us I will cherish for the rest of my life. You became my family, and I became yours. You set the example of what I can only hope to achieve when it comes to building such a strong and loving legacy. I will miss you everyday and thank you so much for being you.
