Geralyn. Sending you our condolences on the loss of you mom. She was a lovely lady. Will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

My husband and I know Joyce from Maplewood. She lived the room down from my dad. We will miss seeing Joyce each day and talking with her. Our thoughts are with her family. Gary and Jackie Fletcher (John Moore)
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I grew up in Arden and I will never forget the bus would either break down in the winter and your parents took us all in the house and gave us hot choclate until or parents could come and get us. They were both very sweet people. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Christine and I were so sorry to hear of your loss

Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you

Dear Cousins,
So very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It's always hard to say good-bye. My apologies for not making it to her viewing or funeral. I've been ill for several days. I also had an obligation in WVU hospital today that I could not miss. I hate not being able to see all of you and catch up. Love and prayers. Charlene
I just learned of Joyce's passing, and just wanted to say that I have such nice memories of her as we were growing up. I'm glad you all had many years with her, and all the good memories are what will stay with you.
