Dear Cathy, Judy and family,. We are heart sick to hear about the loss of your mom. She was one of a kind. So loving and sharing and her unwavering friendship for so many years is something I will always cherish.

To all in Joyce's family - Joyce was a blessing to all who knew her. I still use the Maritz Travel cookbooks that she and her team put together and think of her when I am cooking. It was a pleasure and a privilege to know her at Maritz Travel. Deepest condolences and prayers for healing and strength in the days to come.

My dear sweet cousins...
You have been amazing children to your precious Mother all these years and especially in her declining years. Your lives speak volumes to all of us. Our family shares many countless memories with the fun-loving Accardi family and good o'l Aunt Joy! Pizza, soda, penny candy and Canasta! (Not to mention Monopoly) I'm looking forward to hugging Aunt Joy, Liz, Rick, Dad and all our precious family members who have gone on before us at those Pearly Gates. What an awesome total FAMILY REUNION!!!
Love you forever, Cousin Annie

Grammy, you will be missed more than you will ever know. I always wanted to be just like you(actually have been called Joyce Jr before) lol. You were always so beautiful inside and out, I loved your expensive taste, your awesome cooking and your love for beautiful jewelry and especially your unconditional love for your family. I am so blessed to have had my grandmother meet my grandchildren. Rest in peace and say hi to Papa, Nana and our beloved "JP" (Jimmy) you are all missed so much. Until I see you again.... I love you, your first born grandchild-Kellye
