Awww, Joyce, I just heard the news today at Rock Club, and my heart is so heavy. When you retired from putting together the “Kids’ Packs” for the Rock Show and I took over a couple of years ago, I promised myself I would carry on the care and love you always poured into them. I promise I won’t let you down!
I’ll think of you every time I’m preparing the packs and handing them out to the kids at the show. Your kindness, your warmth, and your beautiful spirit will always be part of it.
You were such a good friend and a truly kind soul. I’m so grateful I had the chance to spend time with you. You…
