Dear Jeanne and Family,
We were so happy to hear that Joyce had returned to Mill Gardents, and even more so when we learned that our Mom (Anna Thompson)was able to visit her. We later came to understand that Joyce had not experienced a full recovery and that her physical condition was still critical. Nevertheless, we prayed for her well-being, and reading that she passed away peacefully was also a answered prayer.
We were very happy that Mom and Joyce "found each other." They spent many hours together enjoying the day-to-day activities of life and our family will never forget the joy that they brought to one another. We also came to know Joyce and we will all miss her too. Above all, we're glad that Anna and Joyce enjoyed a great friendship. We've enjoyed the times that we've shared with you at Mill Gardens' events!
Love and Prayers to you all, from the Thompson and Chin families
