Joyce,

We'll miss your delivery of fish from your many fishing trips, the tomatoes from your garden, and without fail, every year, your early Christmas morning knock on our door delivering such wonderful Christmas gifts for each one of us in the family, and then delivering Christmas gifts to everyone in the neighborhood. Most of all Joyce, we will miss you, our neighbor, our friend.

Sincerely,

Wain, Jimmie and Courtney Jenkins
