Condolences
The family of Joyce Marie Wieseler has received the following condolences.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Some of my earliest and fondest memories include Joyce.
I often think back to sneaking over and sitting around the tv with everyone eating what in my childhood memory was rediculously huge bowls of cereal in the morning. She was always very friendly and welcoming to me even in those early hours.
I wish your family the very best.
Dan Allen
Dear Francis..
I was so sorry to read of Joyce's illness and death...such a short time to prepare and say good-bye. You have been through this twice and that is so much for anyone to bear. My heart goes out to you and your (and Joyce's) families. We enjoyed meeting Joyce several years ago. I hope, in your short time together, you enjoyed great times, much love for one another and created many, many memories to make you smile. We are away from Rochester at this time, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Joyce always had a smile and made you feel loved and comfortable. When I was told about Joyce I wanted to find out where she was so I could come see her and give her the love she has given next I knew the LORD had took her home. Joyce will be missed very much. I'm thankful the LORD didn't let Joyce suffer a long time. Joyce had lovely children and thankful for her that she found a good friend to marry. To the family and love ones you all are in our prayers and thoughts. We are here for you and we send you love.
My love and thoughts are with all of Joyce's loving family. May loving memories rest gently in your hearts.
I am so sorry about Joyce...she was a super sweet lady and I was honored to know her. She always talked about her family especially the grandchildren and the wonderful trips her and Francis took. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. All my best Jennifer Meath
