Guestbook
Joyce was a very close friend to my parents and grandma figure to my siblings and I. She was there for so much of our lives, from birthday parties as little kids to high-school graduations and weddings. She always made us feel so special!
I am going to miss her tremendously, but know she is finally back with Don again.
Joyce and Don were our neighbors and friends for over 32 years and friends of my parents. We’re going to miss the friendly waves and great conversations. You and Don are back together. RIP dear friend.
Rest in God’s peace dear friend and neighbor. You inspired me with your deep faith. You now have an enternal home in Heaven and Don is with you again. Miss You!
Joyce was so wonderfully sweet. I have known her for almost 25 years. She was a friend I looked forward to seeing and chatting with. I was her mechanic that she trusted to take care of both of the vehicles she loved. We always spent a much longer time talking of things in our lives. She intrigued me with her softness and always knowing what she wanted. She always looked so nice. We shared hugs and tears.. You will be missed on earth but I know your happiness is to be with Don again.
Love Todd
