Caregiver Recognition
While Bob was still at home requiring 24/7 care, these aides stayed with him, enabling me to make appointments, run errands, etc. They were a huge help while he was home: Patty, Pat & Carol. There were multiple friends & neighbors who also stepped in to stay with him when I was out. Thank you all.
When Bob required nursing home care 2+ years ago, the following folks became the most important people in his life. These were the staff who cooked for him, fed him, bathed him, toileted him, dressed him, medicated him & entertained him. They did this selflessly, skillfully, and lovingly and I am eternally grateful for their care. They are heroes in a health care system that doesn’t truly recognize their worth.

Joyce my condolences to you and your family, it was truly an honor to work and get to know a wonderful man. To see the beautiful love and life you both shared together. I will continue to pray for you during this time may the light that you both created never dim.
Joyce,I am truly sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. My condolences to you and your family. You have been such an amazing wife. And, Bob knew that because he would say it all the time. You have been so good to all of us at the Green house and we appreciate and love you. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
Joyce, Bob had the best smile of anyone I know. The last 25+ years of friendship with the two of you has enhanced our lives greatly. We will miss Bob. We look forward to more wonderful times with you and sharing memories of the fun travels the four of us did.
It helps to know he is now free of the disease that took away his ability to do all the things he loved to do.
Sending our love and we will see you on Friday.
Love,
Nan and Dan
Dear Joyce, I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a dear man, so kind and gentle. I will hold you in prayer as you navigate this difficult transition. May your faith, your loving memories and the support of family and friends sustain you in the days ahead. God bless you!
Bob was in the Green house with my dad Jack. After I met Bob he would always greet me by my first name with a big smile. If my dad would have met him at a younger age I could tell that they would have been best friends. A great man and a loving wife Joyce you were an inspiration to my mom and helped her adjust to the new normal. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
Joyce, Bob served and in return we all serve him well when I met him he was a man of few words but communicating with him was a walk in the park, thank you Joyce for trusting me to care for your husband, i will dearly hold my time with him close to my heart for many reason, will be missed but greatly and forever be remembered
Joyce, Tom and I met Bob when we became neighbors at Canalside Residences 10 years ago. I always loved bumping into Bob all around the docks and the building. His warm greeting and broad smile will always be recognized. What a caring, gentle and contagious smile touched me. Denise and Tom
Joyce, yes the enduring smile will never be forgotten. You had an amazing partner/husband And he? A wife so filled with love that was obvious during his ‘in sickness and in health’ years of marriage. You graciously thanked the staff who helped him, and they in turn graciously thanked you for all you did for his comfort.
God Bless You as you begin life anew With love, nancy boyer
