Joyce was our neighbor growing up. I have fond memories of her coming across the street to visit, often spending time sitting on our little stoop. I have been away from Gas City for many years but whenever I would be back home and run into her it was as if I had never been away. Keeping Bill, Beverly, Larry and Mike in my heart and prayers.
