It's your Birthday. Love you Joyce, and miss you more as the years come and go. Would love to pick up the phone and hear your voice and tell you what's new. Can't wait to celebrate with you one day. Happy Birthday.
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Joyce (Britt) Armitage, 65, born on July 12, 1947 and passed away on February 8, 2013. We will remember her forever.
Feel no guilt in laughter, Joyce knew how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she's not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever, Joyce would not want you to.
She'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The times you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone might say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day
that brings Joyce back as clearly as though she were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And Joyce will live forever locked safely in your heart.

Joyce, four years and it seems like yesterday to me. I so remember our chats, and emails when we lived in different cities, and then go back further to the good memories of sharing an apartment together and all the fun we had. You and I took some wonderful trips together and oh my but the shopping was fun too! I miss you dear friend. Cathy

I miss my dear friend so much. I think of her daily and long for the special times we had together--talking, sharing and laughing. I wish I could make reservations at the Mandarin and meet her for lunch like we used to do. Life is not always fair, but even though Joyce is not with us anymore, I hope she knows how much we miss her. Love you forever, Ruth

Joyce, I've felt your presence around me and it is both comforting and warm to know that you are in a place of love. God made a special place in his heart for you and those of us left behind will, at some time, be with you. God bless you always.

POSTED ON BEHALF OF JOYCE'S FRIEND, RUTH VANDENBURG
FOR MY VERY BEST FRIEND WHOM I WILL NEVER FORGET
God looked around his garden and found an empty space.
He then looked upon the earth and He saw your tired face.
So He put his arms around you, and He lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful for He only takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyes and He whispered, "Peace be Thine."
It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of me went with you, when Jesus called you home.
