So, so, sorry I missed your visitation. For some reason I was thinking it was this Sunday. You were the most fun to be around, and always were available when I called. My heart goes out to your family.Rest in peace Joyce!

Joyce, you were one of the best Sister-in-laws I could have ever had. I Met you more than 35 years ago when I was going to marry your brother Tom. You excepted me into the family and thought of my boys as your nephews. We have so many memories of family gatherings at our house. From holidays, birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers and many more. We went camping with Grandma and Grandpa Kline and you even camped at our big barn building and we watched the fireworks that Tom set up. You were always giving a helping hand no matter what it was.
You never turned anyone away that needed a place to stay. I will miss calling you and you calling me . Even though it was not on a regular basis I always enjoyed our talk. My heart is broken and it hurts. I can't pick up the phone to call you or I can't see you hugging your grandkids and seeing them in your lap loving on you. I will miss you and your laugh. You will forever be in my heart. I have loved you, I do love and I will always love you. We had some great times, but it is time for you to enjoy your heavenly family now and be at peace. I love you Joyce!

Dear Kline family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your sister, daughter, wife, grandmother, and more. We know you had more to tell her, hugs and kisses to give her. Please take comfort knowing that our Lord is hugging her now. And that He is with you.

It is a time to reflect upon her life with us and the good things she done for us all. I remember when Mom and Dad brought her home the first time and I seen her. I was only 3. They had told me I was going to be a big brother. I waited and waited for the big moment. I remember they sat me in my little rocker and let me hold her. I probably was not the best big brother in the world to her because I would tease and torment her to death. One day I remember coaching her to stick her finger in a electric plug after I had shocked myself. Another time when I made a mud pie and put a dog turd on it for her. Through it all she still loved me and looked up to me. I look back on it now with regret. All I can say is Thank you for putting up with me. Good bye Sis. I will always love you and miss you.

Roger,
I first met Joyce when I became friends with Mary back at Lincoln High School. I saw the girls at their worst and best over the years. Stepped in between a few sisterly fights, arguments, and their stubborn standoffs from time to time. We became distant relatives when Uncle Vern married my mom Dee. Thank you for sharing her with me over the years first as a friend then as a relative. I will miss her.
