Praying for you guys.
Even though there is joy in the homegoing, there is sorrow in your loss. Thinking of you at this tender time.

Looking forward to when Joyce and Larry would visit was always the highlight of my summer growing up. I’m lucky that she made me 2 cross stitch, one at birth, and one at graduation. I have the grad one hanging on my wall. She was so special, made me feel special, would paint my fingernails that classic pearl, that I swear was made just for her. When I’d start to cry because their visit was over, she would say ‘it’s not goodbye, it’s see you later’
See you later Joyce. I love you.
