    My dearest Joyce, heaven has gained another Angel. Over the past 50 years we’ve had some great adventures, both good and bad but always there for each other. You will be missed by so many. Your friendship has been a blessing. I know you will shine down upon us. See you down the road. Love Peggy

    Joyce, life brings many ups and downs. And over 50+ years of friendship, we’ve certainly been through each other’s ups and downs. But friendship and love prevailed. Although you are the first of the RSC Five to find your Eternal peace, I pray I will see you again some day. Until then my friend, you will always be in my heart and I will often smile over memories of those 50+ years. Love always.
