I was one of Joyce’s nurses at Christian Park and was saddened to hear of your loss. I enjoyed knowing Joyce, she was a gentle woman with a subtle yet wonderful sense of humor. God Bless.

My deepest sympathy. I worked with Joyce at the Bishop Noa Home. She always had a smile for everyone or comment if things weren’t going well!!! You always had to hold on to your pants if she was around too!!! God’s Blessings.
