To the entire Hanson family, I extend my sincere sympathy & condolences. Joyce's death is a huge loss & you have many wonderful memories to cherish forever. As very young girls, Joyce & I became friends in Sunday School at Bethany Lutheran Country Church & later we both attended Radcliffe Comm. School-friends forever & always trying to connect every once in awhile. The last time I saw her, she was living at Timberland in Story City & Laverna Iverson brought her to coffee one day. Joyce was a gem. Jackie Borwick Hornbacher
