Glazek/Johnston families, Our heart, Love and prayers go out to every one. Joyce was such a wonderful Bingo player. I will miss the days that Kevin asks is that Jake’s parents? They say it takes a full town or community to raise children. Thank you for sharing Brandon with us.
We are praying for you all during this time of sorrow. But please more than anything remember Joyce is now playing Bingo with the Lord.

My God Mother is the reason I went & got my driver’s license. She took me out on a few drives to make sure I had the basic laws down then to a driver’s obstacle course to round it off. I passed & have never been the same since. Love Dennis Orr.
Glazek/Johnston family-Thinking of you during this difficult time and praying for peace and acceptance. Thinking of you all,
I will always cherish our beautiful friendship spanning over 60 years. Auntie Joyce was one of my dearest friends. Auntie Joyce was family and our children loved her dearly. She was always so proud of her family. Every time there was some event big or small, Joyce would have to call and share the excitement with me. We were so honored when Joyce and Mike asked Jack and I to witness their marriage. As our families grew so did our friendship. Joyce lived a life to the fullest and her legacy of kindness, generosity and friendship will never be forgotten. Whenever deer hunting seasons comes I will always think about how Joyce would make a roaster filled to the brim with her special Chilly recipe for Mike and the boys. Joyce would always tell me if they get a deer, it was because of her chilly. Mike and the boys would always come home with one or two deer. We both believed it to be true! We would both chuckle if they didn’t get a deer…Joyce would say they were to stuff go out hunting…instead…they were napping…she would say I need to cut back on making so much chilly. My thought for my dear friend Joyce…
God gives us songs and sunshine to brighten up our day, He gives us times to laugh and smile and chase our cares away…He gives us special people who bring us happiness, and by this greatest gift of all we know that we are blessed. Yes, I will always know how BLESSED I was to have such a dear loving friend…Auntie Joyce’s name will forever be etched in my heart.
Your loving friends,
Betty and Jack Cardinal
To Joyce from your Bingo Friends. We will miss you!!
