I have been blessed to be part of the family and thought of Joyce as my other mom. She welcomed Brent as part of the family and we loved coming over to her house to celebrate Christmas Eve. She was such a beautiful person inside and out and we will cherish her laughter, smile and everything else about her. Sending our deepest sympathies to the family. May her memories be cherished always.

Joyce was like a second mom to me growing up. She always made me feel so welcome and loved and cared about. Heaven gained a sweet and patient angel on Saturday. My prayers for the family in this time of tremendous loss.
