Dear Paul –
My sincere condolences to you and your family – Stuart, Sharon and Tracy – in your bereavement on the passing of Joyce. I have fond memories of her when we were neighbors living in Talcottville.
Following is a poem that someone sent me some years ago that I found comfortiong in times like these.
With deepest sympathy,

Loss of a Loved One

Where is the quiet laughter gone
Where is that gentle smile
Where are the joys of yesterday
Why couldn’t they wait awhile?
Would the sorrow be less tomorrow
If then she left life’s sea?
Would we miss her less tomorrow
Her friends and you and me?
Will we meet again sometime then
On a better and future day
For this is what we hope will be
As we travel this life’s way.

(Poem by Donald Darling – Bradford, Vt.)

We just learned of Joyce’s passing and we hold you all in our thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Jackson always made me feel special in the Jackson home when Tracey and I were hanging out during our High School years. She always had a cheerful voice and demeanor even when our “high school dramas” were in full swing! I will never forget her. Tracey, let’s get together and catch up!! Miss you!

Dear Paul and Sharon,
So very sorry to hear of Joyce's passing--my condolences to you both and the rest of the family. I remember playing bridge when Ed and I first moved here at your lovely home and how welcoming she was to me. Always smiling. and a good bridge player!!!
I'm sure your many memories will help to get you through this sad time.
Many prayers, Sue

Joyce was a truly lovely person. What a pleasure and gift it was to know her; she was sweet, gentle, and fun loving. She'll be greatly missed.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
