Dear Family of Joyce, Although we were cousins that didn't live near each other most of our lives, I have so many memories of those times Joyce and I did have together, which seemed like happy times with a sister, rather than a cousin. I so respect and admire her reaction to being told of her illness--truly the response of a godly woman who faced the future with complete trust in her Lord. I know she had an influence on many lives and will be sorely missed. Now she is experiencing more joys than we could ever imagine. To the Mele's: I'm sorry I never got to meet any of you-I tried to come but couldn't arrange it in time. Blessings on all of you--you are in my prayers, Karen
