So sorry to hear of Joyce' passing. I remember hearing about her long fight for David, and then meeting David as his Teacher for a while at Stony. There was something about him from the beginning that made me believe in his innocence. Thankful that Joyce's love and perseverance proved fruitful ! Sincere condolences to David and the whole family. Your mother's love was very special !! - Posted by: Don Lewis (former Teacher to David) on: Apr 02, 2020

I worked with Joyce (down her basement as at that time, space was "difficult" for her) to do typing for her as she worked diligently to have her precious son released from prison. I was so impressed at the love she had for David and how she wanted to make this right. She succeeded. A woman to be admired (and missed). My condolences to the entire family! She was an awesome person. - Posted by: Judy Hall (Admirer) on: Apr 02, 2020

I am so very sorry for the family. I followed the story all through the years. Never underestimate a Mother's love and how well she knows her children. Rest in peace dearest one.
