I don't have a specific story to tell but I can say Joyce was a special lady. She always made everyone feel like they were part her family. I know I shared some really great holidays with Joyce and she will be missed dearly. 

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she lived.
We had a wonderful Mother, Grandmother,
And friend,


Her smile was made of sunshine, 
And her heart of solid gold;
So gentle, so caring, so giving, and kind.
We are privileged to have had her with us
and have the memories we all hold.
So, talk about the good times
and the days you spent together,
a word may suddenly recapture a time,
an hour, or a day,

that brings her back as clearly
as though she were here, today.

Joyce was like a Mother to me.  I had no idea how painful her passing would be for me.  Trying to get on with things, but still on the verge of crying every moment.  There are not many people in your life that can affect you in ways like that.  Mom was so very special and I will never forget all the wonderful things she did for me and everyone.

Now Mom is reunited with Dad, Cindy other loved ones.  Have a blast up in Heaven and I will see you up there some day...

I love and miss you so much!
