    It has been many years since our paths first crossed for daycare at MaryJanes but the sight of your name makes it feel like yesterday. Your mom, wife, grandma – now has the best seat in the house and will be watching over you all. May she rest in peace.

    Joyce and I became friends in our high school years. We had good times together and even though we may not have seen each other much during our adult life’s, when we did see one another, it was like we had seen each other the day before. One sweet gal and I know her greatest joy was her family. May you all find comfort in your many sweet memories. I will remember her always fondly.
