Will miss you so much Joyce! We had a special bond as cousins. I am going to try to focus on the fun times and not your illness. We will miss you at our next reunion. It won’t be the same!
Our prayers go out to the rest of the family members. Heaven is getting one super lady!
Love and Blessings!

To the family of Joyce King, member of the Kendallville High School Class of 1965. Joyce will be remembered as a beautiful gal….inside and out. Her classmates will miss her. She attended reunions and was such a graceful presence. We have just learned of her death via the “grapevine.” We would have attended the viewing as her friends. Know she is in our thoughts and prayers and will be remembered at the next class reunion in 2015.
