So, year ago today. Strange at times it seems so long ago probably because I lost the real you so many years ago, at other times it seems like just yesterday you were driving over to sit on the porch with Jacob to watch me drive the bus go by. Either way there are days that I miss you terribly. Every time I make tacos I so wish I could invite you over.

I am always thinking of you. First 26th of June that went by since you left us. I miss coming to visit you, I miss the kids being able to see you, I wish you could see them grow into cute,kind,smart little beings. However, I know that you were able to see much more than you ever expected so for that I am grateful.

Where do I even start?. She was always Ms. Kinney to me growing up.  I met her when Brenda became my best friend 34 years ago.  I have so many fond memories of Joyce.  She had such a contagious laugh and always was smiling and happy and on the go!  She was like my second mom.  I would spend every moment I could at Brendas house.  Some of my most memorable moments were when she would bake me my favorite homemade bread and banana cream pie. I could smell it when I walked in the door.  Sometimes I even looked on top of the frig to see if the dough was up there.  She would chuckle when she noticed me smiling from ear to ear.  Even though she loved to cook and bake,   I know she always went out of her way to make me my treats. Oh how I loved the all nighter poker nights.  All Brenda and I cared about was being together and having our parents getting together so much was a blessing for all of us!  I remember the hours spent at the flea market or watching Ms. Kinney organizing her Avon orders on her long dining room table. Just bags and boxes and order forms everywhere. She was such a good person inside and out and would do anything for anyone.  She was very giving and loved her family and me so dearly. I am so blessed to have had her in my life and to be her daughters best friend for life.  Nothing will ever take these memories away.  I know Brenda is suffering, but I also know Brenda was raised with good morals and values because of her mother's influence.  You will be forever missed but never forgotten Ms. Kinney ? I love you.   You have reunited with your sister once again and your husband.  Rest in peace and I hope that you are walking and skipping and running all over the place with a smile and lots of joy.  You are free now.  Please hug my daddy!  
Love Gina

I can always remember when her an grandpa would take me to captin d  eat .an wendy for a frosty.  and they would take me to the flea market to help at their booth and sitting at the table eating stewed tomatoes with a little sugar. there is a lot things i can say. BUT MOST OF ALL I MISS THEM BOTH.

I remember Grandma, at the Plant City tower apartment where she lived. I would go chill with her, and stay there for hours coloring, drawing, and visiting neighbors. Im glad that I was a important part of her life. I miss her. She is in a better place now, and I bet she is looking down at My family, and missing us too, and guiding us to the right path. She is with grandpa now. I'm contented to have memories of my wonderful grandma. I love you with all my heart.

Brenda:
I am so sorry for your loss.  Your mother meant a lot to me and my family. I remember many a Bingo Outing, and lots of Poker with your Mom and my In Laws.  She always had a smile on her face, and made me feel welcome. I will always miss my Birthday Buddy. She left an impact on me and my family that will continue on for many years to come. I wish that she could have seen how close we have become. I'm sure she would have approved.

Brenda, your mother was so proud of you and very fond of her grandson, Jacob.
The life Joyce lived, speaks for her. I am so glad our paths crossed. I was very fortunate to know her sister and brother n law, which later led to the introduction of their son, Ron and his wife Diane. What a dynamic family.  I am truly blessed to know your family. I will never forget their positive influences on my life.
May God continue to hold you safely in His arms.

Dear Brenda, Linda and family,

I am so sorry for the loss of "Aunt Joyce. I remember her fondly. She and your mom seemed to be best friends.
I remember thinking how pretty she was and so smart. I admired your family and wanted to be part of it too.  And honestly, I think I was! Love you all.

I loved my Aunt Joyce.  I loved that she was my mom's best friend for their whole  life.  I loved that she was a strong working women.  I loved that she hunted with her dad, fished with her husband, and taught her daughter to love cooking for their family.  She loved to laugh and tell jokes, play cards, and play bingo.  Aunt Joyce gave me life-altering advice when I needed some advice and she was so right.  I will always keep her in my heart glad that she was my aunt.
Love, Linda

Brenda my heart and prayers are with all of you.  Even though I only met your mother briefly I see the wonderful person created in you.  We love and miss you all.

Aunt Joyce was a Big part of my youth that will forever be with me.  As a Troubled youth (16) I was sent up into the northern woods of Michigan (with Aunt Joyce) to Save me from my Bad friends, It was a Great time in my life and a learning experience. Her unique laugh will be with me forever too. And I remember our talks about Heaven and her church past. And I am sure that we will see her in our Forever.

Brenda & Kevin:  I am so sorry for the loss of your mother.  She was a blessing to me and my family on this Earth, and she will always occupy a large a place in our hearts.  She was always welcoming to me and mine, always with a smile and an excitement to see us.  She was so giving and loving, and enthusiastic of life.  A Great Example of a life well lived and well loved.  It is with sorrow that we say goodbye, but we know, that for her, she has passed from life to life, and is now in the presence of her Savior Jesus Christ, her Creator God, and reunited with her sister, mother and father who have gone on before her. For us who know God, it isn't a firm goodbye, but a see you soon, for we shall be reunited with our loved ones who have known God as their Father, and Jesus Christ as their Savior. All who have faith in Christ have this promise as their Blessed Hope.  Love You Much.

Brenda I'm so sorry to hear about your Momma's passing.  It was an honor to be able to work with her and stop in and have a little chat with her. I know she has no pain and that heaven gained another angel.  Love you sister and will be praying for you and your family.

My heart is saddened, I miss you so much. My faith however allows me to know you are free from pain and worry. If I could only teach one lesson I've learned through  your sickness , love and appreciate your parents by showing them NOW. I'm hoping the memories I have will eventually take away the sadness I have felt over the last couple years. Memories such as, you coming to our home to enjoy tacos, folding Kevin's underwear lol, loving and making memories with your grandchildren. You always reminded me that I kept you young, you never thought you would see me graduate, marry or have children, YOU DID IT ALL! And for that I'm blessed. I wish I would have shown you more appreciation and love. I feel I did near the end but not sure you really understood, this will always be painful. I love and miss you dearly.
