Posted on: Saturday, March 18, 2023Sending our love & prayers to you all during this time. As I child I enjoyed visiting you all, boy could Aunt Joyce cook. My fondest memory is when Baba passed & we all couldn’t stay at Baba’s house. Aunt Joyce & myself offered to go next door and stay with a neighbor. I really enjoyed our time together, getting to know each other better. I will treasure that memory. I always enjoyed our conversations. I will miss them greatly. Give Dad a hug for me. Love you Aunt Joyce, until we meet again. Xo 💖🙏
