Joyce and I worked together and knew each other for about 40 of the last 45 years. We have pretty much have watched each of our kids grow up. My kids live in Alaska and Missouri and by chance, we were together this last weekend. They were crushed when I shared the text of Joyce's passing, as was I, even though it seemed pretty likely. She was just one of the nicest people I have ever known. Heck, she was nice when she was upset and angry. She was always one of the constants in my adult life and I will miss her very much
