"Joyce was such a sweet lady and I came to know her when she lived across the hall from my mother, Lois Paullus, at Country View Nursing Facility. Even though she struggled to communicate, her feisty spirit came through loud and clear! I know she and Pat Abbas were very close and that she missed Pat very much. Now the two friends are together again! My condolences to Joyce's entire family. Denise Bunting, Cookeville, TN"
