Dear Joyce: my memories of you go all the way back to before age 12, as I was your daughter's classmate at Hillcrest Elementay School. I enjoyed you on our field trips and as car-pooler and classroom visitor. You made a difference.
To the family, please accept my sincere condolences and prayers for peace in your hearts, at this difficult time.
