Joyce, thank you for all the beautiful memories!  You always treated me like your own.  You were the best cousin & friend to my Mom, Florence.  She would light up when you called - I will never forget the laughter when you two were chatting.  When my daughters visited Chicago, you opened your home to them and they felt so spoiled by your kindness and love.  I thank God they were able to experience the beauty of you.   I will be ever grateful for being able to see you recently and will treasure our time together.  I celebrate your life -I rejoice in your going home to the Lord - in faith I know we will all be together again!    Rosie, Alice and Donald - may the love, laughter and memories of your Mom carry you and comfort you all the days of your life.  Her strength, dedication and love is her legacy that lives on in you and all who knew her.  All our love, Cousin Michelle, Jamilee & Morgan.

Joyce was always there for Rosie. She made sure she got the special attention she needed. Thank you Joyce for showing others how to be a wonderful caregiver and mother. The Lord is watching over your beloved daughter, Rosie.

Joycee....you always said you hated being called that, but deep down I think you enjoyed the teasing.  Thank you for being my friend.  Thank you for all the memories of our trips to Peoria and Indiana at Christmas as well as the many plays we have enjoyed together.  You are forever in my heart dear friend.  Rest in peace.  Until we meet again.

Joycee...How you hated being called that.  I shall miss you more than anyone can imagine.  We had so many good times together.  I never wanted them to end.  How selfish of me.  Thank you for being my friend and leaving me with so many wonderful memories of our musicals and our trip to Peoria at Christmas, Indiana at Christmas.  Yes, a lot to remember.  RIP my dear friend.

Joyce you  and all of the Marklund families showed me what love really is,you loved and cared for Rosie and made sure her life was filled with so much love from you.I know you would say to me that you prayed she would go first,but Joyce you have left so many wonderful friends ,and you have  a real "family" at Marklund that will love snd care for Rosie everyday.Alice and Donald you had a very  special Mother who was loved by many,her friends were loyal to her because of the love she shared with them.I know she is finally free from the pain she was in and I'm sure she is that angel watching over all of you,and all of her many friends.I wish  I could be there,but you are all in my thoughts.

Joyce you now Rosie's guardian angel, as you were in life. I cherish all the fond memories of the years we had together. May you find peace and comfort with our Lord and Savior. My sincere condolences to the Rupp family and friends.

To my dear friend Joyce may you find peace and comfort in the arms of the Lord.  Your devotion to your beloved daughter Rosemary was unwavering and for that alone there is a special place in heaven just for you.  My heart is heavy and I will miss our times together and the laughs we shared. Rest now my friend and I promise to always show whatever love I can to Rosie when I am at Marklund. She is so lucky to have been blessed with you as her mother.
