My wife and I send our deepest condolences to Joyce's close family. Joyce and I were 3rd cousins on my mother's side; my mother, Betty, was the daughter of Lillian & David Felsenthal. Joyce and I have not seen each other for many years. She babysat me when my parents visited her family on our way to live in Los Angeles shortly after my 3rd birthday. Joyce and I have kept in touch by email and phone over the years up to the time she went into hospice. My thanks to her daughter, Leslie, who enabled me to speak with Joyce one last time while she was in hospice

My heart is with the family today. Losing a mother is one of the hardest things, and my thoughts are especially with you now. To me, she was always Aunt Joyce—the fun one in the family, full of quick wit and creativity, and the matriarch of our family. She was also my last living connection to my father, Norman Glauber Jr., her brother. I find comfort in knowing she’ll be reunited with him—and with Murray, too.

She will be deeply missed.

Grandma Joyce was a true blessing in my life. Being her grandson was a gift I’ll always be grateful for. Her smile, her kindness, and the warmth she carried in everything she did will stay with me forever. She had a gentle way of making people feel safe and loved—just by being herself. I have so many beautiful memories with her, and I’ll carry them with me always. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten, RIP
תנוח על משכבה בשלום

With great sadness do I mourn the passing of Joyce, who was much loved by many. My love for her daughter Pamela brought me to her doorstep many years ago. She and her wonderful husband Murray kindly invited me, a visitor from a foreign shore, into their home. We spent many hours talking about our travels and life experiences. Joyce was always generous, compassionate and had a keen sense of humor. I was very fortunate to have found such a kind and loving mother-in-law. I will miss her greatly.

I am so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing and send condolences to her family.  I had the pleasure of working with Joyce when she was president of NCJW and I was bulletin editor.  We had many laughs and  shared many experiences as we passed through similar life phases.  We met up again unexpectedly years later at a family dinner to celebrate Bob's sister's and my boyfriend's  cousin's birthday.  Neither of us had any idea of our once-again similar life's path.  We enjoyed each other once again!
