Dennis, Lisa, and Kim

I was so sorry to hear about Joyce. She was always so kind & fun loving. There are so many memories of her that bring a smile to my face and make me giggle. Every time I hear something about Lake Chelan, Joyce pops into my mind. She was always the one to say "I'll jump into the water with all my clothes on if you will". Take care, my thoughts are with you.

Dear Dennis, Lisa, Kim and Family,
I am so sorry to read about Joyce. I hope you find peace in your heart knowing she is at peace. I lost my mom to breast cancer on October 28, 2001 and my dad in 1997. I understand your sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

God saw you getting tired
When a cure was not to be.
So he closed his arms around you
and whispered, "Come to me."
You didn't deserve
what you went through
And so he gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain,
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
