I also worked with Joyce at Farmers Insurance. Joyce was one of those people who you could always depend and you knew she had a deep abiding faith. I remember the strength and grace she dislayed when her son was taken in a terrible accident. Just a few weeks ago I was in Yorkville at Jewel and I heard my name being called and it was Joyce. She only had a minute to say Hi but I am so glad we had the exchange of words and she seemed so content. Will miss her and I am so sorry for your loss.

It was a shock to hear that Joyce passed away. This picture is just a snapshot of the smile she always had on her face. She was such a sweet lady. I will always hold a special place in my heart for her. Our time with eachother is so short and none of us realize this. We tend to take each day for granted, but we should live each day to the fullest as if it were our last. LIVE LIFE! Our mother earth is here to show us her beauty and we have been placed here for just a fraction of her life. Take everything in and hold everyone special near your heart. We cannot live another day without love in our hearts. Joyce is yet another friend and coworker that I have lost from our Farmers family. We have lost too many too soon. We have to love life and live life to the fullest. I will miss you Joyce!!

Jerry and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of the loss of Joyce.....she was always so friendly to me...always saying "Hello" whether at church, or even a garage sale that our paths crossed. I will be out of town on Monday, so unable to attend to express my sympathy in person. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you! She certainly will be missed!
