I felt so blessed that I had the opportunity to work with Joyce on the United Way, the Glenview Values Project, and other committees in Glenview. She was a lovely and intelligent lady. She was a person who "made a difference" in so many lives. I am so sorry for your loss. She will be missed by many.
