To the families of Joyce .
My Mother was the room mate of Joyce at Pilgrim Manor and we want to express our deepest sympathy to each and everyone of her family members. Our prayers and thoughts are with you as you go through this time of loss. We would like to say thank you for allowing us to have a part in Joyce\’s life. She was a very special lady to us and oh how we enjoyed her each and every day. She was always so happy and glad to see everyone and greeting the workers at the nursing home with \”Hey Honey\” no matter who they were !!!! We loved to share whatever we had with Joyce and she was so thankful for the lest little thing. Just don\’t bother her during the \”ball games\”!!! She loved her sports. Joyce watched over my Mom every day and if my Mom needed something, Joyce would get the girls to do whatever was needed. We loved Joyce as if she was part of our family!!! May God bless each one of you and He will give you strength to make it through. You will continue to be in our prayers daily.
