Thinking of you and your family today on your one year anniversary. I miss you!!

Dear Kenny and Family,

I just wanted to share that over thirty plus years ago my husband and I had the privilege of going out to dinner with Joyce and Ken. We were all in our twenties and I remember Joyce being starry eyed over "Kenny" and sharing that someday she wanted to become his wife. She shared her dream with me and I was quite impressed that in her eyes, no one else could ever match Kenny. She had her heart set on him and her dream came true! What a beautiful loving couple and example to us all that love is gentle, love is kind... 

I was blessed to run into Joyce and Ken on their return flight from Mexico last year. We hugged and said our hello+s and goodbyes but little did I know that this would be the last time I would see her beautiful smile. 

I am grateful that I had that one last chance to say goodbye. Please know that Joyce and your family has been in my prayers for the last few years because I did not know how to help in any other way. Know that she is missed and may God console you at this time. 

Love Always,

Elizabeth Pierini

Dear Macias Family,
I got to know Joyce through PTA at Matsuyama.  She was the most organized,diligent person.  She was always kind and friendly.  The last time I saw her was at the grocery store.  Still as friendly as ever.  She loved you all and she will be missed by everyone that knew her.

Ken and Family,

I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss.She seemed like a wonderful wife, mother and friend. Prayers to you now and always.  The Ortiz Family

    A Tribute to Joyce, With LOVE
 
 
    The loss of such a young and special niece is heartbreaking to say the least!  Sorry we did not get to see more of you and your family.  With us being on one coast, and you on the other, it made getting together difficult!  The family reunions in California, did help.  We were happy that you and the children were able to come out with Kenny on one of his business trips.  We enjoyed that visit very much!  
 
     Now, you are with  our Lord, and free of the pain you had to endure.
 
     Your family is missing you terribly, and someday, you will be reunited!!
 
                                                                Our Love and Prayers are  with you, and your loving family!
 
                                                                                            Uncle Dan and Aunt Betty

Pam and Keith Swanson

I will always remember Joyce when I worked with her at Bel Air years ago. She let me borrow her I.D. before I was 21, I got it taken away and had to call my Dad to get it back for her. We later reconnected when I started working near her home, our daughters became friends at the age of four. Joyce would take care of my daughter and take both her and Laura to ballet. She will be greatly missed by so many people, Kenny Laura and Daniel you are all in my thoughts.

Kenny and family...I am so very sorry for you loss. Peace be with you at this most difficult time. And may the Blessed Virgin Mary walk with you on your journey until the end.

Love and prayers to the Macias and Neely families.  Joyce will be missed by so many of us.  Once again, the chain has been broken way too early.  I do believe, however, that we will all be back together again, someday, in the loving arms of our heavenly Father.  Rest in peace Joyce.  You have touched so many hearts in your lifetime.  Love and blessings,  your cousin, Diana Southard

We are so sad about the loss of such a kind, generous, caring woman. Joyce was a great wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, friend, and one of the funniest women I've known. When you were around Joyce you had to be ready to laugh.  She could find humor in the most ordinary events.  These past  five and a half years he has shown us what I means to be brave, to fight, to stay positive, and to hold  loved ones close.  She will be missed by all whose lives she touched.  I know I will hold on to my memories of my sweet cousin Joyce.

Kenny and family, so sorry for your loss.  Joyce will always be remembered as a fun and funny gal.

Ken Daniel & Laura: We are sorry to hear of Joyce's passing.  Our thoughts and sincerest sympathy goes out to you and your family.  Joyce will be remembered in our prayers.

It is just so hard to believe that Joyce is gone...she was just too young.  My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to Kenny, Daniel and Laura and to the entire family.  Joyce will be missed by so many... she was a beautiful woman and I know she fought a brave battle with that hideous disease we call cancer.  I will always remember Joyce for her humor and will never forget our visit as teenagers so many years ago....she had that same humor that Aunt Mary Lou had....they both had a way of getting a smile or a chuckle out of you.  God Bless you Joyce and keep you with him.

I'M so sorry to hear about Joyce passing. My thoughts and prayers are with All of you.
Sincerely, Hilde Fortier

Kenny, my sympathy and prayers to you and your family.

Macias Family - 

It is very sad to hear of Joyce's passing.  She was an ever joyful and warm person.  I will never forget the carpool rides home from Jesuit, by far the best carpool mom ever! After such a hard battle she is resting in heaven now.  Prayers and thoughts with all of you.

Dear Macias and Neely Families,

I was so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing.  I will always remember her infectious laugh and that wicked sense of humor.  In fact, I can't really remember a time when I didn't see her smiling - such a sweet and loving soul.  She was an awesome wife, mother, sister, daughter, cousin, friend, etc.  She will surely be missed and never forgotten by those who love her.  I am grateful to have been a part of her family.  Rest in peace, sweet cousin.  Love and smiles to you always,

Ken, my entire family extends our condolences for your significant loss.  We admired Joyce's strength, her passion and her commitment to you and the family during her illness.  Our prayers to you all.  May she rest in peace.  Melinda Guzman and family

Dear Ken and family,
I'm so very saddened to hear of Joyce's passing.  May God the Father hold you in his loving care and may the Holy Spirit bring you comfort as this time.  God Bless,

She touched us all in many different ways. From her fighting spirit to her elegant touch....  
Joyce-ee will not be forgotten...

I was so sorry to hear about Joyce's passing...coming so soon after her mom's passing is quite a lot to bear, but I know the family will all band together, and give each other support in this difficult time...
Would so love to be at her service and celebration, as I always admired Joyce for her wonderful spirit, and great, fun personality, but it is difficult for me to get away with Sid needing round the clock care, but know that I will be thinking of the Macias & Neely families, and sending love and prayers to all...
Sid & Donna Edwards

Joyce was a truly amazing woman. She was a kind, generous and gentle soul. We will miss her ever present smile and charming sense of humor. She will be missed by many and remembered always by those lucky enough to have known her.

Sending Ken, Daniel, Laura and the family our healing thoughts, comfort and love as your memories give you peace and courage.

Rest peacefully Joyce, we will keep you in our hearts!

Love always,
Your cousin and friend forever.

Dear Pam, 
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful sister. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.  May God provide his peace and may your comfort come from the bountiful memories of your loved one. Keeping you all in my prayers.
God Bless, 
Sara De La Cruz-Rodriguez

You can never say enough about Joyce!  She was the best cousin and I have some of my greatest Memories of spending time at the Neely's Home, as wall as at her Grandparent's house My Great Aunt Rose & Uncle Roy!

Joyce was my best friend when I moved to Fair Oaks and knew no one. We had many fun sleep-overs at each others houses and lots of fun in Job's Daughters together.

These are the memories I will keep near and dear.  No time, distance or anything can take away the kind of family love and friendship that we grew up together with.  These will make me smile forever more as well as this beautiful picture of her!!

Joyce you will be dearly missed, by Many ~~ Forever you cousin, I know we will meet again,
Love always.
Marge Gipson, Fair Oaks, CA

How sad to lose Joyce at such a young age.  Our prayers are with the families.

I pray that God graces the Macias Family with His omnipotent love while they grieve and mourn the physical loss of Joyce and hope that they find comfort that a beautiful eternal life awaits her with her Creator in Heaven.
