You couldn’t help but love Joyce. She was funny, artistic, caring, giving and that infectious laugh of hers would brighten anybody’s day. I will miss you dear friend, but I will treasure all the memories of the fun times we shared. To the family and friends she leaves behind my deepest sympathy.

Our deepest condolences are with you in your time of grief. May you continue to find comfort in the memories that you all shared together and get comfort from knowing one day Sickness will be no more and Death will be a thing of the past. In times of grief such as these, We find it comforting to meditate on the words found in the Bible at Job 14:14, 15. Job expressed his faith that God would bring him back to life if he should fall asleep in death as he said: All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you.” The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunite with your loved one in the near future, right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Psalms 37:10, 11 offers us this promise. Our sincere condolences to your entire family.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Heaven now has a special angel.
To: Jerry, Joe and Jim Hart. So sorry to hear about Joyce Ann. I had been in Mason City
last Dec while on the way to my Mother’s funeral, we spent the night there. I called Joyce Ann
and we talked for quite sometime. When we lived in Elma Joyce and I were like best friends.
We were always in the same class in school, and of course in Sunday School, too. Your Mom
was usually our teacher. I have many fond memories of Elma, everyone seemed to be family.
I live in Texas now so have lost touch with most of the cousins over the years. My Deepest Sympathy to all of you!
God Bless,
Ellen Schroeder Hart
