To the Spory family and Michael; Knowing my own pain as only a relatively minor character in the story of Joyce's life, I cannot begin to comprehend or even imagine the horror you have suffered. Regardless of the degree, please know I share your sorrow. I have been affected deeply by her death. To Joyce; I love you. Did you find what you were seeking?
