John, Linda and Ginger, I just got on the Cedar Memorial website and found out about Joyce. I'm SO sorry to hear this news. I always remembered your wife/mom as the life of the party! She was always smiling and had so much energy. Joyce and John were at our house a lot when I was growing up for many martini parties and I even remember a picture of them with a party my parents threw for Nelson Rockefeller in the late 60's. Now she's with Dave and Audrey and I bet they are having a grand ole time! My thoughts are with you all.

John, Linda and Ginger and family----We just learned about Joyce, our dear friend and neighbor for so many years. Jane and I were extremely fortunate to have been very close to her and all of you during that time. She was every thing a neighbor, close friend, wife and mother could have possibly been and all of us were again "so fortunate" for that.
We are both 90 and we both want her again as "our dear friend and neighbor" when our time comes for that great trip though the Universe to our final resting place. Our love and condolences, but remember always how lucky each of you were to have had her as "wife and mother" for most of your lives.

John---The time spent with Joyce and you in Africa is one of the most memorable of our lives. We remember how excited she was to experience those rides among the wildlife. We wish we had been able to attend the service at Westminster to convey our condolences in person. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

John, Linda and Ginger---Have been thinking about all of you and Joyce since I heard the news. I know that she fought a great battle with a dreaded disease. A great comfort now has to be that her suffering is over. I am thinking she is having a great conversation with my Dad right now! I so remember her zest for life and the fact that she was always smiling. And, I have some of her treasured seashells that she shared with me when she was doing some cleaning out. She was thrilled to have them used for Sunday School and Bible school crafts. I know you all have treasured memories of a great lady. You will miss her. (I wish I could attend her service but work obligations are preventing me from coming. )

John, Ginger, and Linda,
Joyce was such a vibrant, joyful person. It was always a treat for Nicky and I to see her at Christmas parties, etc. The world is a darker place without her. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief.

John and family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Joyce's passing. I shall always remember her at the bridge table many years ago and the lovely Sunday evenings at your home when you and Joyce would host our young people's group from Westminster Presbyterian Church. I still have one of her lovely handmade shell candles to remind me of our friendship. My sincerest sympathy is extended to you all at this sad time.

John, Linda, Ginger,
It will be hard to think of Country Club Parkway without Joyce. We will always remember how welcoming she was when we first moved here and how she made us feel at home in a foreign land! Things that remind us of Joyce are sea shells, tennis, enthusiasm, and laughter. We hope that the memories of her will comfort you always.
Love and prayers, Lucy, Roz, and Gel
