roadshows that they produced together.
Joyce was a fantastic cook and a good seamstress. For family gatherings she would make all of her special recipes. She publish a cook book that she gave to her children and grandchildren as a gift to remember her by. Joyce loved her family and spent many hours making baby blankets for each newborn. She would visit and celebrate special occasions such as birthdays whenever she could. She was a loyal and a compassionate person who went out of her way to help others.
