Aunt Joyce you were a good and loving person. We were the children you wanted but never had. This day you will be reunited with all your family that has gone before you. Jackie will be there in heaven to greet you. Uncle Tom has been waiting patiently. Love and God speed.

We had wonderful, fond memories of growing up around both Tom and Joyce. We actually called them Aunt and Uncle. They were wonderful friends of my late Mom and Dad, Ruth and Paul Miller. I believe, Joyce's Mom babysat my sister, Judy and me once when my parents were out of town. May all that knew them, especially her nieces and nephews, find peace and comfort.
