Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I loved working with her at WMC. She always made you laugh was there if you needed help. RIP my friend Paulette

  2. Where to start. Joyce and I first met in the summer of 1954 when her family moved next door to my family on Rockdale Road in Follansbee. We very quickly became close friends and remained that way throughout our lives. For over 40 years I called Joyce on her birthday (March 28) no matter where either of us was at the time. This coming March 28th will leave a void in my soul because of a missed call. We both went through some rough patches in our teenage years but we were always there to support each other. Thankfully the rough patches were greatly out weighed by the good times. So, my very dear friend, may you rest in peace until we meet again someday. Ron Geary

  3. Tracie, so sorry to see about the passing of your mom. You have our deepest condolences. When ever we would see your mom out she would always take time to say hi and talk. Take care and God bless, 🙏❤️🙏❤️ Sue(Nice)Moore and Judy Nice
