Joyce was a wonderful person and will be missed. She WAS Augusta along with Wayne. They are together at last and I’m sure they are rejoicing. Good people. They worked on many projects, many times behind the scenes, to make what ever was going on a success. I don’t ever remember seeing Joyce without a smile on her face. Sincere sympathy to her family and friends.
