Joyce, I love you with all my very flawed heart. I knew you for only a small period in time, but your wit, kindness and forgiving nature was immediately apparent. I know your forgiving nature is the only comfort I hold onto now for not performing an honor that was gracefully bestowed upon me. It is a huge regret that can't ever be undone.
R.I.P Joyce I will forever live with sorrow for not being present to help comfort and dry the tears, including my own as God took you home.
I will forever treasure the memories of the kindness and acceptance I felt in your presence.
So, so sorry for your loss.
To say my friend Joyce was vibrant is a total understatement. I will miss playing word games with you and seeing your posts on our WW site. I met Joyce at a WW Meeting in Salem, NH many years ago. We sat next to each other and commiserated about those few extra pounds that kept coming back.
Hope you were celebrated as you entered heaven.
You will be sadly missed here on earth. ♥️

Joyce I will miss our little Facebook hellos reminiscing about.y mom mary mccarthy
Thanks for being a friend!
God Bless your family
Your mother was a ray of sunshine to everyone. She always had a beautiful smile for all. You always walked away feeling great after having a conversation with her. She will be missed.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers

I have so many wonderful memories of Joyce. We shared a private joke about her birthday and the Ides of March. I will think of her always. She has made a deep lasting impression on my heart
