RIP Joyce! I worked with her a million years ago at Chuck E Cheese and we ended up being friends. I lost touch years ago and was never able to rekindle but she was an awesome person and will be missed.
Is this the Joyce Kinsland (an only child) that grew up in Hopewell? If so, we were neighbors on Bank Street. Haven’t seen or heard news of her in many years. If this is the sweet young lady I knew, i would like to extend my sympathies to her children & grandchildren.
My darling sweet cousin. I have such fantastic and funny memories of the summers I spent with you on Bank Street. Sleeping together and you kept asking me “Patsy tickle my back” (LOL). We did have some beautiful times. I am just sorry that over the years, we haven’t been as close as we once were. I know you know that I love you so very much and will miss you, until the day I meet you again where there is no pain or sorrow. I remember sitting in that little kitchen with the stove top down eating cold “whatever was left from the night before”. I could go on and on with my memories but it is getting very hard for me to see – my tears are flowing now. God Bless You and rest in HIS arms.
I will surely miss you my cousin. I will cherish all the wonderful memories that I have of you and our family. You will be greatly missed..
