To Ms. Parker, Jeremy, family and close friends, please accept my heartfelt & deepest condolences.

Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of your loved one, but please know I am praying for your peace, comfort & healing to your soul.

Joyce and I grew up together, but when we became young mothers going into adulthood, we lost contact with each other. I never forgot my friend, and always what she was doing and how was she doing?I asked others if they knew where she was or how I could reach her. Only to get the same answer time and time again, "I don't know." I missed my friend and had so much I wanted to share with her, but also missed out sharing conversations with her regarding Jeremy as he and my daughter grew up. I will hold my childhood memories close to my heart and will miss her always.

With love,

MRS. PARKER,
PLEASE ACCEPT MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I MET JOYCE AT LEAST 25yrs AGO IN TRAIN STATION IN GARY. SHE WAS WONDERFUL. I NEVER ANYBODY THAT LAUGHED AS SMILED AT SAME TIME. SHE WOULD TEASE ALL THE TIME. JOYCE HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR THAT IF YOU WERE UPSET SHE COULD HELP FORGET IT. SHE ADORED HER SON AND HER MOTHER. WHEN I RETIRED I DIDN´T SEE MUCH OF HER ANYMORE BUT YOU WOULD ALWAYS TELL I SAID HELLO!!
WELL NOW IT IS THE FINAL GOODBYE TO REAL KIND HEARTED PERSON. REST IN PEACE JOYCE.
