I was sad to see Joyce’s obituary but was flooded with wonderful memories of her when she was a volunteer in the PACU @ LGH in the 1980’s. I haven’t seen her for years but remember her energy and excitement for life that was contageous; we all loved when it was her day in PACU. I was a young mother at the time and learned wonderful lessons from her that guide me today as a mother of adult children.
You were blessed to have her in your life.
