I am so very sorry for the loss of Joyce. She was a kind, sweet person. I am so glad that I got to spend some time with her when she visited her brother, Buddy, and my sister, Miriam. She will be missed by all those who knew her. May the Good Lord give you all peace and comfort as only He can.

Joyce was one of my favorite patients in the whole world. It saddens me deeply to have just learned of her passing. She had a strong will and was a kind soul. I will remember her always.
