So many memorys come flooding through when I think of Joyce aka (Buttons), and all happy memorys. I will never forget her and all the fun we had together.  My deepest sympathy to Sereena and her family.  Love you Buttons.

We we're lucky enough to grow up across the street from "Joycie" as we all called her. When I recount my childhood memories, almost all of them include her. I remember so many days when we were playing  out in the yard and her car would pull up from work. Looking back on it, I know she had to have been tired after working all day but she would always come right over to see us, she wouldn't even put her things down yet. She loved and taught us all so much, I remember being one of the only kids in my class that already knew the pledge of allegiance when I got to school because she had taught it to us. She took us everywhere- the movies, craft fairs, and boy did we do some serious shopping. I think I was only about 8 years old when she took me to Pier 1 for the first time and some 20 years later I still can't go into one without thinking of her. She played video games with us, baked with us, even taught us to dust with old socks on our hands. You always felt special when you were with her, and she truly helped  mold all of us kids (my sisters, cousins, and I) into the people we are today. We love you, Joyce A Kirby Vacuum Cleaner, Rest in Paradise.  

to serena, paige and paul...
may memories you treasure of brighter days
shared with your mom bring you comfort,
warm your heart and help you face tomorrow.
so very sorry...dad and sue

When I look back on my childhood, there is not a memory that doesn’t include Ms. Buttons. The camping trips, sleepovers, and who could forget the War of the Worlds parties. We have all lost a piece of our hearts! Thoughts and prayers to Serena, Paige and Paul, she will be dearly missed. 

My sincere condolence to the beloved family. Although your hearts are filled with much pain and sadness, from time to time please reflect and draw comfort on the resurrection hope in the passage of Acts 24:15 .
