Wayne, Stacy and Kristin,

My thoughts and prayers are with you! I am so grateful to have been apart of Joyce´s journey.

She spent part of the holiday party this past year with my oldest Daughter, Mackenzie. I think Joyce could tell she was a tad shy. Joyce sat with Mackenzie and sang Christmas carols with Mackenzie and made small talk.

Joyce could walk in a room and befriend anyone.
