Dear Jim and family,
  I occasionally look at the Decorah paper on line and that is where I read of the deaths of both your father and Joyce.  Please accept our heartfelt sympathy in all of your sorrows. 
 Joyce and I both grew up in southeastern Minnesota,(I graduated from Canton with your cousin Ralph )but only met when we were on the same corridor in Larsen Hall at Luther our freshman year.  We were all so proud of her when she was crowned Miss Decorah in 1959! She was beautiful, talented, kind==an all around lovely woman. 
 Our paths crossed a few times over the years; when she was in Fairmont and we were in Luverne, and for Homecoming at Luther some years.  I remember how we rejoiced to learn she had given birth to her twin daughters; I did not know she was also blessed with a son.  We met again when she was in Sioux Falls and would sometimes have committment services at Hills of Rest, where my husband Les was employed.
 Her death came as a complete shock as I did not know she was ill.  I have read the wonderful tributes from so many of the people whose lives she has touched over the years.  It must make you all feel very comforted to know how many people Joyce helped in their journey to know our Lord.  Her life was a beautiful example of one who loved her Savior.

Dear Family of Joyce Dennison - especially to David and Deanna...
I have not seen any of you, I think, since high school, therefore my memories of Joyce are over 50 years old. Uff da! I did, however, hear that all three of you are ordained pastors and what a blessing that must have been to share with each other! So many times I have mentioned Joyce and her wonderful voice and what a joy it was to hear her sing. I remember particularly her singing ""The Lass with the Delicate Air."" And she was! I have such good memories of her - high school choir and band, and of course our infamous Immanuel Lutheran Church choir! I am so sorry to hear of her death, but praise God with all of you who loved her for her eternal rejoicing in His presence!

WE ARE DEEPLY SADDENED TO HEAR OF PASTOR JOYCE'S PASSING. WE WILL ALWAYS CHERISH OUR MEMORY OF PASTOR JOYCE WHEN SHE MARRIED US ON JUNE 18, 1998. DURING THE CEREMONY SHE SANG THE LORD'S PRAYER TO US, WHICH WAS UNEXPECTED. WHEN WE LATER THANKED HER SHE SAID MUSIC SHOULD BE PART OF OUR MARRIAGE CEREMONY. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU, DON & BRENDA TREFZ.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss.  Pastor Dennison married us at First Lutheran Church and she made it a very special time for us.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the family of Pastor Joyce:
She served us well at First Lutheran during a time of need and was a blessing to all.
She will be missed but she is at peace.

Jim and Family,
My sincere and deep condolences for you loss. You have lost a very special part of your lives and for that I am most sorry. The church has also lost a great leader and a great servant. May God bless you and support you in your grief.
Dick

To Pastor Joyce's Family: You have my deepest sympathy and will remain in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. Pastor Joyce was a comforting presence when I greatly one in my life and I've always been thankful to have known her.
God Bless You All
