Gary, we are so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. We did share many happy memories with the scouts. Please know that our heartful thoughts are with you.

Memories of things we shared in life….we met at Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN, and chose to be dormitory roommates our senior year, 1972-1973. We shared a love for teaching Jesus’s lambs as Christian Day School teachers. We both called Kenosha “home”, as I was assigned to teach there after college. She was an apartment mate for a short time there in Kenosha after she discontinued in the teaching profession. After I moved to Door County, we enjoyed several meet ups in Green Bay during a Packer event. Joyce, you will be missed, but through Jesus our Savior, will see you again in heaven. Your friendship in this life was a treasured blessing! My deepest sympathy to Gary and others in the family. May Jesus comfort your hearts with His sure promises of a heavenly reunion through Him. ✝️🙏
