"Thinking of you all. Aunt Joyce was a sweet lady who had a quick smile and warm heart. She will be missed not only by her family but by many others she touched in her life. The last time I saw her was at my mom's burial and I so very much appreciated her hug and presence. I wish peace for her in this next life. Shirley"
In loving memory of
