Joyce was my older cousin and I received hand me down clothes of hers. She was a good friend to all the cousins, We always exchanged cards at Christmas and I got to see her when I visited in IL. It was always fun to have dinner with her. I got to hold her first son as I was working in the nursery at Methodist. She was a kind, caring person and I am sure she will be missed by her family.
