Joyce and I have been best friends for over 52 years. I can't imagine my life without her in it. She was Mama Jo to my boys and MawMaw Jo to my grandchildren. We shared so much together. We cried together, laughed together, and just sat and talked for hours. She wasn't perfect, but none of us are and I loved her more than I could if we had been blood sisters. She is a special part of my life and will be missed more than I can imagine.
