Our sympathies to all of you. Joyce gave me so many good health tips. She will be missed very much. She truly was loved by all she met. She got us hooked on "honey" just like the type of person she was.

I rode the Richmond bus with Joyce for several years and spent hours in choir with her at the Eden Valley High School. I always looked forward to seeing her at my husband's 5 year reunions and sometimes at church. Big laugh, big heart, big loss.

We enjoyed Joyce's wonderful laugh and beautiful singing voice. We had such a wonderful time together in Europe with Joyce and George and several other couples for the Granite Company a few years back. She always brought laughter and love to all who knew her. We'll miss you Joyce, but I know you are in a much happier place and one with no more pain or sorrow. P.T.L. Jerry and Shirley Barthelemy
