To Carolyn, and all of Grammy Carey's extended family... My deepest sympathies for your loss. I had the pleasure of spending time with Joyce on a couple of occasions and I hold those memories dear. She had a knack for uplifting those around her... just the thought of her now brings a smile to my face. She'll forever be our "Pink Lady".
