Sincere condolences to the family. I grew up in the rural Foley area, and enjoyed many of the bakery products. They were wonderful people. May God bless.

Our deepest sympathy from the Riley family [Jim, Dave and Dan Riley, and Michele Rolandson]. I had Christmas card exchanges with Joyce and Pete for many years, but had much more personal contact with Joyce over the last year or so. That's when I found out what a warm and loving person she was. I will miss talking to her!

So so sad to hear about Joyce. Had so many good years working for them. Just like family. I enjoyed visiting with her at the nursing home. Will miss her so much. Loved that lady.

I met Joy when my husband entered St. Otto´s and we became close friends. After my losing my husband I continued visiting Joy and our other dear friend Bard. We did many fun things together she was also close to my granddaughter Izzy who has been a volunteer at the home. Joy and I went to volleyball and hockey games to support Izzy. We would have fun dinners together at my home and she would have so much fun. I will truly miss her she was a very good friend wish I had her longer to enjoy.
