Joyce was such a kind person. She was always so good to us. Seth and Miles thought she was so fun and interesting to visit with. She will be missed ?
I am unable to attend the service for Joyce due to work obligations, but wish to express my condolences to the Duncan family during this difficult time. My connection to the family is through Joyce's son David, a long term friend and running partner.
