 When I would give Joyce a cutting or a plant, she would say she wouldn’t say “Thank You”  I think it was because maybe it wouldn’t grow right if she did.
How she loved Guy (Doug)!  She cherished her time with him and her favorite time was going fishing in their boat and catching fish! And we got to eat some of the fish they caught! There are some big fish mounted on their wall and they are impressive! And some where fish that Joyce caught!

What a woman! I have never met anyone like Joyce and I will never meet another like Her!
Joyce, I will miss you and our conversations!  You are truly loved!  I will see you again one day when we meet the Lord in the air!


I thought the world of you, Joyce! Words can not express what you meant to me! How I love you!
In the early 2000’s, my husband, Joe, and I met Guy and Joyce when they would come walking around Lake Roberta.  We lived right on the lake on the north side. From our windows we had a great view of the people walking there.  We could see Guy and Joyce turning the corner towards us and we’d go out to meet them when we could. Often they would come and sit on our porch and we would always enjoy our talks and have a good old time visiting!
We spent many a time visiting with them at their home and again, we had fun and good conversation. It was hard to tear ourselves away from them and their wonderful hospitality!  
After Guy passed away, I would visit with Joyce and have very long conversations on the phone.  It seemed we were always expressing the same sentiments on everything we talked about.  She would affirm what I would say and I could affirm what she would say.  Our lives and thoughts would line up on so many areas we talked about.  She was like a sister to me. We had so much in common!  Joyce was alway positive, independent, big smiling, determined and spoke highly of everyone.  She was full of love for each and everyone of her family! Joyce had her “family book & Calendar” with all the pertinent information on each family member. And she had almost everything memorized! What a Fantastic mind she had!
To see her drive her truck was amazing!  How this sweet little women could handle that big o’l truck, I’ll never know!
On her porch she had her collection of interesting thing she loved and could tell you everything about them! Ceramic pets and little critters. Her wind chimes were her specialty and plants everywhere! She was always out working in the yard. And that was a very big yard!  She loved weeding and growing plants. 

Joyce was a dear friend that I met back in our bowling days.  We bowled on the same team.  After our "bowling careers" ended, we reconnected a few years later.  She and I would have wonderful long phone  and yard visit conversations catching up on family and remembering our husbands.   We both lost them just months apart She was always a positive, caring lady with a wonderful smile.  I will miss you Joyce.  My thoughts and prayers go out to the Sims families.   
Sincerely,
Carolyn Callahan

Being one of many of us "Bullard kids", we were scattered around several states so we shared many phone calls with our Joyce. Many memories, many laughs & sometimes tears, she always had time for us. I will miss my calls with her & always ending with" I Love You Gail."   I Love You Joyce....                 I will miss my sister.   


Joyce was not just my sister, she was one of my best friends. All of my sisters would agree. We talked every day on the phone, except when she was in hospital. Was always there to listen. She was proud of her 4 Guys.  She really missed her sweetheart, Doug and grandson, Derek. We are all going to miss my sweet sister. We love her dearly. I will always remember you laughing.


Nan we Love you and know you are looking down on us with Pa and Derek. -Joe, Melissa, Kaley and Emily.
