Dear Joyce, you will be greatly remeber and you will live in our hearts. The few moments I could have been with you showed me the great person you were. We keep the painting you made for us, for our marriage as a treasure that not only remind us our oath, but as a beautiful remembrance of your love and talent. A talent that goes beyond you natural artistic skills but also to keep a solid family that love you both as parents, grandparents and great grandparents..
Our kids, extended family, Ryan and myself will never forget you.
Rest in peace dear Joyce.
Our deeply condolences for the nearest family and friends who spend day by day near to Joyce.
We wish God be with all and each of you and help you to continue feeling Joyce's love as when she was physically near to us, and transform the sadness in hope, love and Joy evrytime you remember her.
