Condolence: Joyce entered our lives about a year ago when our daughter joined Misty Morning. The first time our daughter saw Joyce she immediately smiled and from that point she wouldn't leave her side. Ms. Joyce was her rock and knowing that gave my husband and I such great joy and comfort to see our daughter so happy. Joyce was so kind, giving and most of all loving to our daughter. She impacted her life in such a positive way and we will forever hold Joyce near and dear to our hearts. We all loved Joyce very much.

Sincerely, Craig, Melissa and Gabrielle Ansman

Condolence: I used to work with Joyce in the 90's at GE & was very shocked to hear this sad news about her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family at this very difficult time.

Condolence: My daughter was in Joyce's care for the first two years of her life at Misty Morning. Anyone could tell that she genuinely cared for those children and loved what she did. She would always tell me of the cute and funny things Julia did while at the center. At times, when I would drop Julia off in the morning, her daughter Christina would play with her. Julia's face would light up when Christina was there, she loved to play with her. I have nothing but fond memories of Joyce and have no doubt that she will be deeply missed. I'm so sorry for your loss.
With sympathy,

Condolence: Dear Kowats Family,

I am so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Joyce. My son, Orion is one of the children she cared for at Misty Morning, and I always felt good knowing she was there when I left him. She was always a smiling face to welcome us in the morning and was even a smiling face at the end of her long day dealing with all the babies--I never knew how she did that! What energy and kindness! You all are in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all as you go through this difficult time, and know that His help is there for the asking.

Sincerely,

Layne, Elizabeth and Orion Lowery

Condolence: Dear Mr.Cavalier, Don, Girls and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Joycelyn and I have been friends since Kindergarten. We both ended up living in Newtown, and laughed at how often we saw each other in town. We were always in the same place at the same time. Every time we ran into each other, she was smiling and happy. She always looked at the bright side of things. She was an amazing girl. Always remember the happy times,and know she is in a great place and at peace. My deepest sympathy to all of you. Love and friendship, Kathy & family

Condolence: Dear Kowats Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Joyce so much and I know that my little boy Joey loved her too. Joyce often told me how much she adored Joey. My heart is broken, I just don't understand how someone so special could be taken away from us all so soon. I just can't make any sense of it. I will miss Joyce everyday that I bring Joey to daycare. She was absolutely wonderful, and the few times she babysat for me personally, we had some really good talks. She opened up and we talked about all kinds of things. She was my friend and I will miss her everyday. God Bless you all!

Condolence: Dear Carolyn and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy at this difficult time.
