I certainly remember those late night calls when I needed to talk and Mom always answered.
I also remember when I got calls from her when Dad was being a bit difficult so I'd drive over no matter what time and many times he and I would go for a drive and most always find ice cream to eat.
I'd certainly love be able to call her or take dad out for ice cream again also.
Thinking of the family as you say good bye for now, Prayers of comfort for you from Quentin and Barbara Mizer
Joyce was my Sunday School teacher. Every year she would hand sew some special toy for all of the class. She was a beautiful seamstress and a gentle, kind lady. I have very special memories of her.
Debbie, John, Mike, and your Families,
Everyone here in Michigan at the farm looked forward to your family's visits. Aunt Joyce was always the first one out of the car with a smile on her face, and looking for big hugs. We remember Aunt Joyce for her generosity and perseverance through life's difficulties. She always brought Laura and Dan handmade gifts that she made for them while she was making gifts for her Sunday school classes. These gifts have been saved over the years and we have given them to our granddaughter. Our first real trip as a married couple was a trip to visit Aunt Joyce and Uncle John in Lebanon. Aunt Joyce made us a wonderful meal and we enjoyed the evening touring the MO countryside. Aunt Joyce and your family will always be an important part of our lives and our memories. We know your loss brings you sadness; the good memories will soften your grief. We will keep you all in our prayers. Nick and Sharon Young
