We were sorry to hear about Joyce. I {Mary}remember when weI went to Joyce's house when she lived on Elmwood street in Philadelphia. Joyce asked me and my sister Terri if we wanted to go down the basement in this little room to see the dead people. We said NO. Uncle Al, Joyce's dad was an undertaker. I will always remember Joyce as a fun loving child growing up. I know she is in heaven .

With Sympathy,

Steve & Mary Mierkowski

P.S. Joyce's mom was my Dad'd sister. {Aunt Helen}My dad was Ed Stefankiewicz.

Joyce, you were so deeply loved by all. My puppies loved you so much as well. Your wonderful kind heart and loving disposition will live in our hearts forever. I love you sis. Marcy

I want to share my heartfelt condolences at the sudden loss of Joyce. I have so many fond memories of the past eighteen years knowing her and calling her my friend. With Joyce, there was always a great sense of humor and as I sit here and write this, can hear her chuckle in my mind. Joyce was so very kind and giving. I know she was looking forward to the next chapter in her life, as a Grandmother. When we saw each other a week before her passing, we talked about my first Grandchild and it was great hearing her excitement in the coming birth of her Granddaughter. Like my brother in law, who I lost last Memorial Day and the birth of his first grandson a few weeks after, we will probably see much of Joyce in that little girl, a living memory of her. She worried about being so far away from her and wished they were closer. My dear Joyce, you are close now.

My thoughts and prayers are with Terry, Joe, Marci, John, her darling nieces and nephews, extended family, as well as her long list of friends. An angel came to being on January 4th and she will watch over everyone she loves. Knowing Joyce, she'll also give little reminders of her presence. Smile when that happens because she wants you to know she will always be near.

Love,

Bonnie

She sped into Gino's parking lot,slammed shut the door of her old red mustang convertible, and began to kick and curse her car. This is my first memory of Joyce Grego. Another is going to her parents home where there was a foot of hay covering the kitchen floor,and oh yes of course the family goat being fed from a baby bottle. Just another day on Garnet Mine Road with the Gregos. When we were about 19 or 20 Joyce had to get a perscription from Thrift Drug in Chichester. As she shopped around waiting for her script to be filled, I placed 15 or 16 boxes of Trojans on the counter.When the pharmacist began to ring up her order I remember the look on her face and she said "what the hell", I laughed so hard as I did many other times with Joyce. Joyce and I went through pregnancy together. Her son Joe was born one month before my daughter Casey, and so began our baby adventures. Joyce loves Joe with all of her being,a love that Joe will know in just a few short weeks. God bless you and your sweet baby Joe give her kisses from grandmom. I will always remember you Joycie. Love, Marcia Albrand Thanks for the memories as they are good and sprinkled with laughter and love

In the few encounters I had with Joyce as a new adjunct instructor at DCCC, she was very kind to me. We bonded over both living in Aston (I grew up there and my parents still live there), and she went out of her way to help me, offering to leave a textbook I needed at my parents' house when I wasn't able to travel to the campus. I was very grateful for her generous spirit and willingness to help, and I wish I had had more chances to work with her. I will miss her.

Joyce & I went to school together, rode the bus every day and were the first ones in the girls room to light up as our bus was the 'early' bus. We had lots of talks & laughs over those 3 years..and only last year did we reconnect on Facebook. I will always remember the 'good ol days'..and those early mornings! R.I.P. Girlfriend, Heaven gained another laughing Angel.

Ginny and I were discussing how Joyce did not want to "put us out" when she needed something. When her back brace needed adjusting and she was in so much pain, she asked Ginny for help. She was so apologetic and did not want to be a "bother". She was never a bother and she will be greatly missed.

Aunt Joyce, you were such a caring and sweet person. Spending Christmas with you was a real gift, and i keep looking at the pictures you took of the family and how happy everyone is. We all love you and miss you.
