My thoughts and prayers are with Kathy, Jimmy and Joyce's family. Joyce was a wonderful person that I have known all of my life she was a strong but a simple classy lady. We have lived next door to Joyce for 40 something years we had a lot of great memories and I always considered Joyce a part of our family too. Now she is heaven with Keith, Nancy and has the perfect garden in heaven. Joyce we will always remember you and will miss you very much every time I look at your kitchen window.
