I saw the news article in the paper and can’t help wonder if we were related. My name is Sherry Dunbar(Stoppard). Nonetheless, from my family to Joyce’s, please accept my condolences on your loss. I am sure she will be sadly missed.

Keith,
I was so very sorry, upset & very saddened to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a very sweet and nice lady with a quick & beautiful smile and a great sense of humor. She made me laugh so many times with all of the funny & comical things she did & said. I was your next door neighbor at Manchester Park apartments.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you are faced with this terrible loss.

May God be with you.
Sincerely,
Deb Sheesley

Helen,
I'm soooo sorry to hear of this. I don't know what else to say other than to keep her memory close and remember when we were kids and playing together at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Way back when we didn't have a care in the world. Now she's with them and Nanc and Mart and her son, whom I never knew anything about, again never to suffer any pain or torment again.
Please feel free to contact me. You have my email and I sent you my phone numbers just a minute ago.
Love,Your Cousin,
Missy & Family

I am a friend of Linda's and Wendys I do not know Joyce never met her on this earth But one day we shall meet in Heaven So I leave thes words with you and my sympathy

Don't Weep For Me

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on the snow,

I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken,
in the morning's hush,
I am the soft uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
I will be the brightest star in the sky
You will not have to wonder why

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I did not die.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
