Joyce and I knew each other for many years, and I lost touch with her after college years. Saddened to hear of her passing. She was a fine person.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Sitton family during this time. I had the good fortune to work with and for this kind lady at Sitton Oil way back when. I know she will be greatly missed by those closest to her.
