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 ❤️
ReplyShe will be missed. She was a fantastic neighbor when I lived in New Athens. Praying for the family during this sad time.

Larry and Kevin and family –so sorry for your loss.
ReplyMy deepest sympathy to all the Weber family! Ihave many fond memories of being with Joyce. She and I were freinds for about 40 yrs. or more.
I know her children and grandchildren will miss her.
Let’s say heaven gained another angel, and rest in peace my friend!
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!
