My Dear Aunt Joyce, memories of you will be everlasting. That beautiful smile, and loving each of us unconditionally, no matter what Brenda & I would do, you never complained, ranted & raved, or showed disapproval, you just told us we better behave. I will always love you. Love to Brenda, Betty, Sandra, and Joanne, know I am here with heart and understanding. Love Gwen
