Uncle Nick, Barbara, John and extended family... We are saddened to know that we can not call to talk with our Auntie Joyce any more. We loved sharing our joys of welcoming our new little girls into this world with her and keeping her updated on how they were doing. I know that it meant sooo much for Eric to meet her. It was a special time for him and meant allot for me to know that he knew her. He has shared my grief in this GREAT loss. Sunday night I was overwhelmed with the reality that my Auntie Joyce met Jesus today! We spend our lives waiting to go to heaven and only have a brief understanding of what it will be like but she got to meet Him. What a great reality and comfort. I have been showing the girls pictures of Auntie Joyce and telling them that she is in heaven with Jesus and their great grand-poppop, Pampy! They will know her through my stories. I am sorry for your loss because she is not here and we all will continue to pray for all of you (Uncle Nick, your family, Barbara & John, John and Esther and the girls, mom-Linda and dad and my dear Nanny). With great love and care... The Obergs Eric, Susan, Annika and Kaia
