Prayers for peace and comfort Aunt Joyce will be missed I enjoyed every visit I wish I had visited recently. She loved talking about her grandchildren and children. I have fond memories of attending the parade annually at her house while growing up ❤️

I echo my mother’s sentiments. Lots of great childhood memories with the Weber family! Mom and Joyce’s annual shopping trips with us kids, playing at each other’s houses and our moms not “playing favorites” when it was time for discipline! Thankful to grow up just a couple blocks apart, making memories together! May you all hold onto the fond memories of your Mom, Grandma, Sister, Aunt, & Friend!
