To all of Joyce's family,
Since Joyce and I shared the same first name, we used to joke a lot about that, we also shared many Sisterhood events and did the organizing and prep work together. It's been a long time since she and I were together, but we did sit together at Beth El one of the last times she came to services. I am sorry to lose another friend, but it is that time of life for all of us. May you rest in peace.
With love and hugs,
Joyce Kamen
