    To John & Joyce + family members not known to us:
    Your mom sounds like she was a wonderful person and I can see your likeness in her Joyce, when she was younger! Maybe you even have her hats yet?
    It’s always hard to lose parents, especially when you become the “older generation”.
    Wishing you comfort and hope in the future.
