Joyce was a dear sweet friend. We met when we both worked at HyVee Barlow .Joyce introduced me to a nice group of ladies called the women's group. We used to get together 1time a month. She was a good friend and will be missed.
My deep condolences to the whole family, but especially to my Dear friend Pam! I met Joyce once and she was precious & tried very hard to make my overly serious son laugh. Instead I think he added to her collection of jokes ;) but he said after meeting her that he'd never met anyone quite like her & thought she was cool for someone as old as his Grandma's were. This being my youngest & also the hardest to make any sort of positive impression on says alot about how friendly & outgoing she was. I know she meant a great deal to Pam & therefore she must have been an Amazing person! I wish i could send flowers or a plant but right now I'm unable to but know there's a succulent that needs to be planted in my yard here in Florida that i will consider a memorial to her! Love you Pam & Huge Hugs to Everyone!!
i send my love to the Craig family in this difficult time..
