To the family of Joyce: I worked with Joyce @ the Curative Workshop from 1992 - 1994. She was a special lady & she taught me a lot about mangement. I met Tyler when he was young, Joyce was so proud of him. I'm sure that his son, Reed is just as bright and wonderful. I know that she will be missed. My prayers to her family, especially Tyler, Reed and Joyce's Mom. Respectfully, Connie Ziccarelli
