Jeff ThompsonIt was with great sadness that I read of Joyce death. I met Joyce while spending time with my father at Clair Bridge. I would try and visit my father daily and take him for a walk, and a lot of times Joyce would join us, keeping up in her wheel chair. She was always fun to be around, and put quite a few miles on her wheel chair, going up and down the halls. Like so many residents at Clair Bridge, I would have loved to have known Joyce before her disease struck her, but am so happy for the time we shared together. She will truly be missed, Jeff Thompson
