Joyce was always so kind, friendly, gentle, and sweet. We would visit with her, when we saw her in the hall, at Pilgrim Manor. She always looked so pretty.
Lots of love to her precious family. We will miss her, too.

Joyce was such a sweet person. We sat at the same table during meals, until she moved to the other dining room. I will surely miss her.
Sincerely,
