Dear Kevin and Cori, Rob and Nancy, Jeanine and Bart, Uncle Walter, Walther and Leah, Tommy and John and Tierney send you all condolences on the death of Joyce. I just received word on Tuesday that she had been in hospital and then my sister called me to give me the news of her passing. I felt so bad and I know that you all are grieving at this time when this wonderful woman has moved on to new life. Joyce was a woman of such strong faith and belief that I know she is resting now in the Lord; I am sure that she is praying for all of us. I would always look forward to visits with her when I was home in NJ. She was always so interested in hearing my stories of Africa or Chris' stories of her adventures in East Timor and the Philippines. She always had a wonderful smile on her face and she kept praying for her miracle. It is difficult to see her pass on, especially at such a young age. She and all of you are in my prayers everyday. I pray that you know she will be with us still-just in another way. May all of you be a comfort to each other. With love, Mary
