See Condolences

I’m so very sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. She was one very special lady. We worked together at Brookside Hospital for many years. I arranged quite a few reunion luncheons where many of us got together to remember good times. My heart is sad as I wasn’t able to connect with her the last few years. Use to run into she & Jake on New Years Day at the Pegasus Calendar store on Solano Ave. . I had a nickname for her too. I called her Winnie. Hope she didn’t mind . Love her and will miss my friend. My deepest Sympathy to Jake and the whole family.❤️❤️

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
