    I remember when Joyce and Jim took this cruise. She was absolutely the best friend I have ever known. We would laugh so hard it would make us cry. Sometimes life was so hard it would make us want to cry. Joyce, was always a lady and my heart breaks at her passing. We had talked about it often, I know she is exactly where she belongs.

    Love your BFF Tami
