We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
Another Angel got her wings! She will be missed. My condolences to her family
Please accept my sincere sympathies for the loss of your mother. What I remember most about her was that she always seemed to have a smile on her face and was very upbeat. My mother admired her and she was a great friend to our Aunt Rita. I am sure you will miss her greatly. Maureen Spear
Nancy – I want to extend my sympathies to you for the loss of your mother, and although I don’t know the rest of your family I send my sympathies to them also. I was sorry to see her obituary in the paper today.
To the Family of Joye, a beautiful lady that will be missed greatly. I have so very much enjoyed having Joye in my life as a friend and neighbor. We especially enjoyed our Garden Club gatherings, as well as other such activities. No one ever wants to give up such an enjoyable friend, who brought joy to me and many others. I will miss her yearly birthday cards she was so faithful in sending since I have lived in Arizona, deepest sympathy to her family. Sincerely Elaine Ferguson
John and I would like to send our condolences and a big hug to Joyce’s family. I will forever be grateful to Joye for her daughter Susan who has been a dear and wonderful best friend for over 33 years!! I smile as I think of the antics of Joye and her girls and their road trips to AZ, funny cards and times at the farm. You all took such good care of both Bob and Joye and enriched their lives in so many ways. It’s not easy to lose a parent no matter what age. I hope that you will find peace and heal your hearts by celebrating your wonderful family, all your memories and can celebrate your mom together and all she meant to you. 🥰🤗 Brenda & John Orrell
