RE: Joyce Dalton

[Guest guest]

I am so sad to hear the news about Joyce. She was one of the most courageous women I have ever known. She will truly be missed. This group will not be the same without her. I know she did not suffer at the end and she is at peace now. Bless her heart. She was a wonderful woman.

I’m so sorry to hear that Joyce has lost her extended battle with this terrible disease. I can only offer the following quote from a Warren Hansen book.

"I will travel empty-handed. There is not a single thing I have collected in my life that I would ever want to bring except … the love of those who loved me, and the warmth of those who cared. The happiness and memories and the magic that we shared.” by Warren Hansen

The entire board has certainly shared magic, memories, warmth and love with this angel

Good morning group,

Unfortunately this morning I have to pass along sad news. Last night at 10 o'clock our queen, Joyce Dalton passed away in her sleep. I'm copying and pasting an email that some of us received from her youngest daughter Gretchen. It's comforting for me to know that she did not suffer at the end.

I know you all join with me in extending our sympathy and condolances to her family. Joyce was one of the most courageous women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I met her last fall in Chattanooga . She and her wonderful husband Lucien made that trip when she was on 6-8 liters of continuous O2. It was amazing then and still strikes me as amazing now.

I will keep you all informed as arrangements for her memorial service are made.

Here is the email from Gretchen:

Last night, at approximately 10pm, Joyce Dalton passed away. She had been hospitalized since Wednesday evening, and deteriorated each day. She passed away in her sleep, taking each breathe slower than the one prior. No pain, no fear. A memorial service is tentatively planned for next Saturday (in 12 days) at Kraft Funeral in sville , IN. She will be cremated in the coming days. Thanks to all of you who loved and supported her these final years. She thought highly of you, and so enjoyed her time with the group. Best Wishes, Gretchen (youngest daughter)

She shared the bad with the good most oftentimes with a sense of humor. I'm going to add my thoughts to those on the board who have said this before me, but we all have an angel watching over us....
