To Ron, Jim, Rhonda, and family,
I was heartbroken and deeply saddened to hear about Joyce. Mike Clark called me and informed me of her passing. I remember playing hockey with Rhonda and seeing Joyce there with a smile on her face. She was always really nice to me and even though I didn’t see her often over the years since we graduated, when I did see her she always said hello to me. My heart aches for all of you and I hope that you are able to find some type of solace at such a difficult time.
Ron, Jim & Rhonda,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss of Joyce. Joyce truly is a kind and wonderful person, we will be forever grateful to have known and felt Joyces kindness and love. We cannot imagine your sorrow at this moment but please be assured that you are in our hearts and on our minds!
Sincerely & with Love,
Teresa and Armando Russian & family.
