April 14, 2023 at 6:51 pmI have so much to say… when I was little she always scared me. She was mums bestie. Oh how my mum loved Joyce!!! I always loved the Labor Day picnics across the street on Dixon. I remember the smell of dial soap from her house. Soo much more I could say.. but I think of her EVERY Sunday, when attending church. When she gave her last talk in Allentown, she said her heart would always remain here and she was leaving a box of tissues on the edge of the podium. Well over 40 years, I see that box each Sunday. And her favorite song, I stand all amazed. My deepest sympathy and condolences. I can only imagine how much joy she and her Annie are having. Much much much love.

February 18, 2023 at 6:59 amHow we loved Joyce! Her spunky attitude brought many smiles and kept us in stitches. Our teenage daughters loved visiting her and holding her hand as she told them about the goodness and kindness that flowed from them to her. They always left feeling like they had made her day.
Joyce loved the Lord and talked to him often.
To be able to see clearly again and to be with her beloved husband must be an indescribable joy.
