Must have been a wonderful woman. Sorry for your loss but happy for your memories. She certainly lived a long life. God bless you Scott and all your family.

So sorry to hear about your mom (Grandma). When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind. Your mom seems to have been a loving mom and grandmother to your children. While her earthly body is no longer here, her spirit is and will guide your family. I'm sure there were many welcoming arms in the Celestial Kingdom. Dory

Grandma GG was the most sweet, loving person ever. She was so fun to hug and visit with. She aged very well and was loved by so many. We will miss her dearly but it was her time to go, living such a fulfilled life with all of her family. We live you GG and you will be missed.

Joyce was always a kind loving person who loved loved her children and grandchildren She made their birthdays and Christmas over the moon. My kids were the recipients of all the wonderful hand me downs. I remember Joyce walking to Lincoln Jr High to help with banquets’, decorations and all activities. She made every occasion extra special. She has touched so many lives, and will be missed by many. Rest in pease and enjoy your glorious reunion with Jack and all those waiting for you.
