    My deepest sympathy to the family. I knew Joyce from Gethsemane and she would have that beautiful smile when greeting someone.

    Joyce…so happy you’re at peace.
    Joyce was the loveliest person. Even though I’ve been on the same block since 1982, we’d reconnected the last few years and enjoyed the North Cape and Norway Lutheran lutefisk dinners! She was fun and game for anything! Love you, Joyce!

Testimonials

Dear Bob,
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help and everything you did for my grandfather’s funeral. Looking back on it, I think Gramps would have been so proud of how everything turned out and it would not have been possible without your help. Your staff is amazing and has allowed us the grieve without worrying about the little details of everything that goes into making the arrangements and planning the services. You helped us honor one of the most amazing men in my life, and it meant so much to me personally and to my family. Thank you for everything.
Take care,
Jessie Tuttle
