"Joyce was wonderful person. She was a very special neighbor. We would meet outside while I was watering flowers and have the nicest visits. She always had so much energy. I am so glad we were able to get to know her like we did. We will miss her so much. Chuck and Cindy Wichman"

"Deepest Sympathy to the family. Joyce and Art visited my parents (Everett & Flossie Burton)several times at the farm in Cornell, Illinois. They enjoyed their visits very much. Everett would have been Art's Uncle as he was Edith's only surviving brother. I am glad to have seen Joyce again last summer at the Reunion Lunch in Washington. We also became reacquainted through e-mail exchanges. Love & Hugs, Howard Burton, a cousin"
