Sending prayers and thoughts of comfort to Joyce's family. We were neighbors, rode bicycles together, rode school bus and sat together. Shared lots of laughs. Even though we lost touch through the years, I always fondly thought of her, as we would drive down the old country road and past the Moody farm. Thankful for the warm memories that make me smile.
