Carlson Family: Please know that you are thought about at this time. My mom worked with Mrs. Carlson in the District and always enjoyed working with her! I will share your mom’s passing with her!
Joyce was our good friend during our many years at our respective homes on the river. Manys the time we made wonderful memories during those years. Setting around campfires, telling stories, laughing and making friends. May you rest in peace Joyce. You were our “Peach” and Wayne, and I will not forget you.
Yes, MANY memories and good times. We lovingly called Joyce “Peaches” and John “Muffin”. My deepest condolences go out to John and his family that he shared with us. Rest in Peace “Peaches”, rest in peace.
I am very sad to learn of Joyce’s passing. Our families were part of St. Ann’s and Villa – and I know her family will be lost without her. May her memory be a blessing for all. Joyce, rest in peace.
I am saddened to learn of Joyce’s passing. We were next-door neighbors in Erie and I always enjoyed talking with Joyce, and our many cruises around the peninsula in her convertible. Rest in peace, Joyce. My deepest sympathy to her husband and family.
Sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. I’m praying for you, Eric, Matt and Shannon and their families at this time.

Dear John,
Was saddened by Joyce’s passing. A big shock to us all. We knew her for quite a long time and were so impressed by her kindness and love. She was one of the first people we met in the Eddy when we took over the cottage. My first wife Renee and Joyce became friends immediately. Tina and I send our deepest sympathies to you and the family. May her memory be eternal.

Dave my condolences on the lose of your sister. this comes from an ancient person from the ancient pass. (not as ancient as you ) Bob Rose How is the old retired service man doing. I am hanging in there can still swing a golf club and cut the grass. Glad to see you survived your sister and still kicking. I do not know how long you are going to be around but if you have time to share a coffee ( or something else ) give me a call 814-899-2472. tell them to give you my email if you want to get ahold of me on line.
Bob rose that skinny kid from Polk street.
I was stunned to hear of Joyce’s sudden passing. We did not have a close sibling relationship, but I’m thankful that Jon and his family brought her the joy, love, and happiness that I didn’t. The shame and regrets are mine. May she rest in peace.
