So sorry to hear that Joyce had passed. I worked with Joyce in Kentucky Medicaid. Joyce was so wonderful to work with. She was our go to person for any issues relating to helping a Medicaid recipient. Joyce always went above and beyond to help. I loved her quick wit and her smiling sweet face. May you find comfort in your many memories.

Very sorry. I did not know this lovely lady, but have come to feel as if I did by knowing her lovely daughter, Devon. Praying for God's peace to be with this family.
