I rode the bus with Joyce for 12 years and always will remember her smile. She always knew my name and it was great to see her at our 30th reunion. She is in a special place for angels.

So sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. Was so good to see her at the 30 yr. class reunion just 5 months ago. I still can’t believe she’s gone. You couldn’t ask for a better friend. I remember how she blushed when she was embarrassed and her bashful look. I hear that heaven is like a good day that never ends. Have a good day Joyce!
