My sincere condolences to Mr. Bob, Lesli, and family as they deal with their loss. Can't help thinking of my dear friend Lisa, who now has her mom with her. The Alito's, a special family to my family.

Joyce was a very kind, loving, dear friend for many, many years. We always got together several times when I came down to Louisiana. Leslie and family, I am so sad by the loss of your mother--my friend--a wonderful, wonderful person. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her; she touched many lives. Always a smiling happy personality even when she was down. Guess she'll be having coffee with loved ones in Heaven; she will forever be in my thoughts--especially when I have my morning coffee like we used to do-- Joyce, until we meet again.
