Floyd, Theresa, Robbie, and Brian,
We are so saddened by the loss of Joyce. She was always such a nice, friendly person. The last time we saw her she was at the hospital visiting Geraldine. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,

I am saddened to hear of the death of this wonderful gal. Joyce was my friend since high school—half a century! She was one of the most decent, loving human beings I know. May God comfort and bless Floyd, Brian, Robbie, and Teresa.
