My sister Joyce was a big inspiration to me and all who knew her. She and I had a lifelong attachment and a special closeness. Although I could not speak at her memorial my thoughts were of her children and grandchildren who will miss her guidance and love.

I'm so glad you published a picture of Joyce's beautiful face--she looks just like our beloved Grandma Annie. Even though I haven't seen you girls in 20+ years, I know that Joyce left a big empty space because she was so full of life! Treasure your memories and each other. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Love, Alice Jean
