Patricia Holly Relation to Deceased: friend Joyce,I only knew you for a short time,but you always inspired me by the way you were such a independant lady,and had all the love in the world for your children and most of all your grandchildren.I remember the small things that made you a special grandma,I remember the times you would go out of your way and send my daughter a birthday card even though you hardley knew her,but that was the kind person you were,i will miss you. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker
Niki Casteel Relation to Deceased: Daughter Mom, Thank you for all of the love, nurturing, and memories that you gave me! I will treasure every moment we had together. Life without you will never be the same but, I will carry you in my heart forever until we are together again. I love you Mom!!! Rest peacefully, your loving daughter, Niki As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
Kathryn A. Cardillo Relation to Deceased: Sister-In-Law Joyce, when I first met you I was totally amazed and inspired with your gracious, loving ability to welcome anybody and everybody into your life that crossed your path, whether family or friend. I feel very fortunate to have had you a part of my life. I will never forget your visit to Colorado. It was a memory I will have forever, the fun, the laughter, the meals, even some tears and we can’t forget your being the best cowgirl in Denver when riding one of John’s horses. You were greatly loved and I rejoice in my heart that you can see John again. Tell him I love him. Much love to you Joyce.
Gary Fish Relation to Deceased: Friend of her Daughter Niki Deeply sorry abot the loss of your mom Niki…God Bless Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.
carol A. Logan (Mitchell Relation to Deceased: I graduated with Joyce from John Marshall HS 1956 I never knew Joyce in school, but after reading her obituary, I feel I know her, also from reading the memorials. I think she was a happy girl, mother, wife, sister and auntie, who made everyone else happy too. She was blessed with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and I know she was special to them. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.
