    Some of my favorite memories are those of Joyce, working together at Bothwell Hospital for nearly 40 years, We used to laugh about what we would do if we won the lottery and what we bought onQVC. Joyce touched the lives of so many people during all those years She was a very special lady,outstanding nurse and she was more than a co-workler she was my friend.She will be deeply missed .

    Michael / Larry/ Patty/and Karen,

    God hears and God heals. He will always comfort and care . These are times to enjoy Joyce’s life and her special ability to care for and love all.

    Her pain is no more and she is resting in God’s arms.
    That plus her loving kindness will help comfort all of us.

    Again I send condolences from my family and myself. Joyce was a very hard worker. I worked with her for about 20 years at Bothwell Hospital. We had some good times together. We rode bicycles together, and took swimming lessons together. I have many good memories of Joyce, as I know you do. Peace be with you, and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
