I recently learned that sweet Ms Joyce passed away last Nov of 2023. My mom, Ms Myra, was a friend & shared a dining table with her. Your mom became my Moms first friend on Dec 7th, 2019 when she moved into the OAKS. Your mother was so precious & I visited her after mom died when I could get back over to the Oaks. The last two times so visited, she was asleep in bed & I will miss her greatly! I´m sure she´s tending to the birds in Heaven Condolences to all her loving family. I will cherish my memories of Joyce!
