Joyce was a wonderful spirit and helped save my life.

I'm very late to this message board. I met Joyce during a yearlong service project in Colorado Springs in 2001-02. Recently, I started going through a box of memories after our basement flooded, and found a couple of cards Joyce gave me - I decided to look her up to see if I could friend her on social media. I rarely do this, which speaks to the impact Joyce left on me. She had so much positive energy, shared openly about her life experiences, and, although she was several years older than me, treated me as an equal. I am sorry to hear of her passing, and send my very-belated condolences to her family and friends.

Sending my sincere, heartfelt condolences for your loss. Joyce was definitely a "free spirit" and an inspiration to those she knew in her life. I remember her passion and pride in her AA journey. Her smile and hugs were like a warm blanket that would just encompass you. She will be missed.

I hadn't seen Joyce for quite some time. I went to school with Brett. I lost my brother this summer, and I do know how much the Raitz is suffering, you are all in my thoughts and prayers
