    Joyce was the easiest person to talk to. No matter what you were saying, she was fully invested with a patient ear and warm smile. She was also a gracious host. I will never forget the amazing, annual parties that she and Tom threw at their residence in California. Joyce would always ask and make sure you had enough to eat and drink, and that you were enjoying yourself. I am grateful for having known this beautiful lady, and will remember her with love always.
