My condolences to Joyce's family. We were in school together from grade school through high school. In fact, I am one of the girls on the picture that appears on the web site! My maiden name is Seibert. Joyce was a very nice person; unfortunately, had not seen her in years.

Our group of luncheon friends miss Joyce's tremendously. She had the greatest smile and laugh and was a hoot to be around. We've known her for over 50 years since we were in the Bellettes together.
Larry, may the comfort of friends and family be your strength now and in the days ahead.
