She was a very loving wife, mom and grandmother, just a wonderful person in general. She raised great kids and loved her family deeply. It shows in the way you all took care of her.

Joyce Grice. To the family of Joyce Grice, I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I first met Joyce when we went to grade school at Two Buttes. I always enjoyed visiting with Joyce and was pleased to meet her again when my family moved to Lamar. She was a very sweet beautiful woman. I know she will be missed by her family and all who knew her.

Craig, Lori and families,
Your Mom and I went to school together from 1st through 8th grade and we always dressed alike on the first day of school as my Mom made us dresses. Enjoyed parching corn with her on the old cast iron stove in the wash house, playing games at her house, eating popcorn and milk for supper and sharing an egg, she ate the white and I ate the yolk. I have a lot of good memories of our childhood, like burying my Chinese checker marbles and dominoes in the orchard and forgetting where we buried them and having to dig up half of it for punishment and never finding them. Sewing the soles of our feet because they were so tough from going barefooted. I could go on and on. She was a wonderful lady and though I'm sorry for your loss I'm happy to know that she has a new body and is free from all her problems. May you cherish her memories.
Blessings,
Jo Ann Hall Dove |

For the family of Joyce Grice - She was such a sweet lady with a gentle, kind spirit. I have many happy memories of her and J.B. during my childhood/teenage years at First Baptist Church in Lamar. I pray that you are comforted by your faith in Christ and by your memories.
