There is a grand reunion going on in Heaven! I love Joyce and she and my mom were great friends for many years. She will be missed.
Eileen, Karen and Susan, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Joyce was quite dear to Mom, Ginger and me - we will always have fond memories of her. May God's love surround and comfort you and your families in this difficult time.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
