Our Sincere Condolences

Joyce is a lovely soul and is missed. I stayed with her for nearly a week one Summer and All of the kids were little. She really wanted me to stay, her. Joyce or Robert would drive to KC on Business picking up carpet, tile, and linoleum, and would compare which had the most tan arm from the drive there and back : ) Another time I recall is when Grandma Wray was in her final days on Earth Joyce took care of her and we went to visit Joyce and Grandma. Grandma was so sweet and herself but weakened. She was with Joyce in Excelsior Springs. Grandma went to be with the Lord the next day, as I recall. But Joyce came thru for her.
