So sorry Bill for your loss. I have known Joyce for many years through our real estate family. I just sat by Joyce at a real estate class a few of months ago.
I sold my niece a house right next door to Joyce. I couldn’t believe it when my niece told me who her neighbor was.
Bill,
So sorry to hear about Joyce. I know it has been a long time since we have seen you, but we always talked about the fun we use to have at the lake with you guys.
It was always a good time. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Joyce was one of the kindest in our industry. I loved working with her. Bill so sorry for your loss! Our prayers are with you and your family.
It is the measure of one’s character to show kindnesses to someone they may never see again. Both Joyce and Bill were extraordinary examples of this. I only knew Joyce for a short time but we did a lot of laughing (and crying) and I considered our short friendship a privilege. She is with her beloved son now—rest in peace dear lady.
I loved Joyce. The last time i spoke with her just before she went home she said”i love u Margie”. I miss her already
Joyce was the life of the party! She had a very quick wit and could make anyone around her feel better. She could look at a situation and wonder, what good can I do here? Then she would do it. These last few weeks at the Ontario County Complex as we called it, she did just that. Her and Bill acting as the team they were. Her “room mate” wanted to go home very badly, but her home had an unsafe floor. Joyce called her partner in crime and asked Bill to go and take a look. The floor that her “room mate” had paid to put in had major issues. Bill ripped it all out and replaced the subfloor and flooring. Even from the hospital bed she didn’t quit trying to help people! She always remembered what someone said to her… and she would think on it. I had complained that I would love to some day let Max out the back door, and not have to put him on a leash. From that same hospital room, she called Bill and within the week, I had a call from her saying. Bill and I have a surprise for you when you get home tonite. I had no idea what she was even talking about! But, when I got home late from work and I said to my husband and daughter–Did Bill and Joyce leave me a surprise and they both said NO… So, I called Joyce, and she said, “LOOK out back”! And there was this perfect little fenced area for Max to go outside and go potty without me having to hook him up, especially in the cold morning! I have a lifetime of stories like this of Joyce. Bill– 49 years with Joyce- you never left her side these last 10 weeks!! Sending hugs!!
I did not know Joyce personally, but heard many nice things about her. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you.
