I remember how welcoming your parents were of two crazy Nebraska girls who were just out of college and starting their careers in education way out west. May a God bless her soul and your family. Love you Christi's! 💛
It has taken me a while to find words to describe the losses of, as with Joyce, those who were one of those few who find a place in your heart and, you in theirs– in a not fully describable way. Words cannot always describe what it is like to have someone who is another â??momâ? for you, who clearly cares for all of those she possibly could, if not more.Growing up with her boys I, and many others, had another mom and dad; always welcome under their roof and at their table. I miss those days while finding that, moreover, we were so fortunate to have had them for those years.For the family she leaves as her legacy, please remember that though we may not have the convenience of living down the streets from each other, you are no less family in my…, in our hearts; my love, sorrow and remembrance to the entire family.Pleasant journey Joyce,Love, Todd Daugherty
Joyce was a friend when I really needed one back in the old days, in Boulder, Colorado. So sorry for your lossFran E. Hass
Joyce will forever be in my heart. Whenever I think of my time in Fort Myers I think of my wonderful neighbor across the street. A true lady that always had a kind word and a smile on her face. Joyce, I still have your wonderful shrimp recipe in my cookbook and will be making it soon in your honor. To Bob and family – my deepest and sincerest condolences.. Knowing Joyce was a privilege that I will always cherish.
We are so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. May God bless and comfort you and your family during this time of great sorrow.Lou and Jeri Green
Dear Joyce has been a friend for many, many years.I remember the cottage on Lake Huron.I remember her father playing the piano.I remember the parties on Sycamore.I remember the Red Mercury Joyce drove in High SchoolI remember missing their wedding because I was in another wedding.I remember losing contact as we both were busy raining our families.I remember renewing our friendship.I remember meeting up with Mary Ann Webb, Rose Rabahy and myself for lunch in Sarasota.I remember when Gil and I stayed with Bob and Joyce watching the life of Ayn Rand and Atlas Shrugged.I remember how excited Joyce was when the ladies of my church sent a Prayer Shawl to her granddaughter, Lanae.The world was a better place when Joyce was here. What a beautiful person.God bless the family she left behind. I will always remember how kind she was. Lois Kolka Sinnaeve
I had the pleasure of living across from Bob and Joyce in their Ft Myers' home. Every time I saw Joyce at a social gathering or mass, I felt true warmth and affection. She was a loving, truly caring woman and a great human being. I know God has welcomed her into His kingdom with open arms. Catherine Radu
