I only met Joyce twice when visiting her and my sister Tina, but she had a way of making you feel like you had known her your whole life. Sweet lady, so sorry for your loss.
Joyce was the best lady! So kind and friendly to me and my family.
I will always remember taking care of her cats while she and Al would go on vacation. I would walk over from Forrest Hills and feed them, scoop the litter and play with them. She loved her cats and I knew that, so I made sure to take great care of them.
She will be missed!
