Jim and Joyce were two of my favorite parishioners while I served as Interim Senior Minister at Plymouth. We shared meals together and I loved serving with them as Deacons. They were always supportive and loving not only of the Church staff, but the entire congregation. Joyce had a sparkle and loved life and brought that attitude to all around her. I feel honored to have known her. My Blessings, Joy
