    Deb, Jim & Kim — I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your mother. I haven’t seen Aunt Joyce since I was a little kid, but I vividly remember her beauty, her kindness and how she could light up a room just by walking in. I guess heaven just got a little brighter, but my heart breaks for you & your families. Sending hugs & lifting you all up in prayer… love, Lisa, Kyle & Christopher
