I’m so sorry to hear about Joyce’s passing. I loved working with her at Kal- Equip and later having her as a customer at Harding’s. My day was always better just running into her and her laugh was contagious.

It was pretty clear how much Joyce loved her husband and family.

Heaven has a new special angel. RIP Joyce

Dear Rex family,

We were so sad to see your mom’s obituary in the Shopper’s Guide.

May your memories and God’s peace comfort you all during this difficult time. Please know that although we hadn’t seen Joyce in quite awhile, we both have fond memories of her and know that she is rejoicing in Heaven with Ray.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all,

Wayne and Kim
