  2. For our best friend Joyce we will always remember your laughter during our camping ,tailgate and the days we were just hanging out. Especially the day our Labrador grabbed a sandwich out of her hand she laughed so hard we all started laughing until tears came out of our eyes.
    Love you always.

  3. Having known Joyce almost 60 years, there were innumerable times of laughter, fun and craziness. Through our teens, twenties and beyond, we always kept in touch. With Gail…we were like the 3 Musketeers. She will be dearly, dearly missed in our lives.
