I was shocked and saddened to hear of your loss of Joyce, and I am deeply sorry. Joyce became my friend when I first moved to Bradford. We taught together for many years, spent time together outside of school, and shared our love for cats. Joyce was a kind, thoughtful, and generous person. She was a true friend, and I''m thankful she was mine. It is my prayer that God will comfort you and bring you peace.
