    Aunt Joyce along with Uncle Leonard were the rock and the beacon for the Brinlee family for as long as I can remember. From family reunions to Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and many funerals Aunt Joyce and Uncle Leonard always opened their home to us. So many memories I have as a kid of the men gathered around the kitchen table playing dominoes or Uncle Leonard and Uncle Jerry playing guitar and singing. The ladies gathered in the kitchen cooking and then cleaning up afterwards. The laughter, the stories, the love oh how I wish I could have bottled it all up. Thank you Aunt Joyce for the memories, for the strong family bond you shared with us all! I love you always and will miss you ♥️
