Dear Jon, So sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. Remembering good on Eastwood. One Christmas you came over to play 'Don't bug me' with Tim and Dan. You and Joyce dug up aspen trees to plant and put one in our yard, too. Mark Mark the hair lip beagle. Where does the time go? Hoping you are well even though I know how empty that first year is. My Eastwood door is always open and I am a good listener. Hugs and good thoughts always. Terri (my Jim passed in 2017)

My condolences to Joyce´s family. Joyce and my brother were married before we moved to Arizona in 1969. I remember when they visited us here and Joyce and I would go shopping for crafts. She was a talented quilter we had so much fun together. I know my brother will miss her so much. She was everything to him. Prayers to Jon and your family.
