I work the night shift at medi homes. We all loved Joyce. At night i would take her juice and she would talk about her babies on the wall.(the pictures of the kids that hung on her wall) and she would always want that small white stuffed dog to sleep with at night. She will be missed..April

I feel very blessed that Martin, Alex and I were able to be there for Moms' last days. We Loved her very much.
Beth Ramirez - Daughter
Aunt Joyce was so full of life and old fashioned "gumption!" I will always remember Aunt Rea saying, "Karen, you are just like your Aunt Joyce." My daughter, Carrie, and I were talking after Aunt Joyce passed away and I told Carrie this. She said, "Well, Mom, you know what that means, don't you? I must be like her, too, since everyone says I'm just like you!" I still have 2 gifts Aunt Joyce gave me when I was a child, a red oil lamp and a set of 3 brown poodles - a Mama and 2 puppies. We didn't see Aunt Joyce and Uncle JT often but it was always memorable when we did! She was loved and will be missed! Karen
