Assist Joyce in Honoring Her Mother's Memory

Dear family and friends,

With my mother's passing in January, it has brought up numerous feelings from sadness to joy. We are all comforted knowing she is no longer confused and she is at peace. The difficult feelings are what we are left with. When a loved one passes we grieve and comfort one another. Living in Indonesia has kept me from sharing with family, with the exception of a few brief phone calls. I knew I would face some tough times when I came to live in Indonesia and I am content with my decision to stay here.

In July the family will be gathering for a memorial/reunion in Ashland. It would be very difficult for me to miss this gathering. Therefore I'm asking you to contribute to my travel expenses. My limited income forbids the expense of international travel. I will be eternally grateful for all assistance you are able to share.

With love and respect for your generosity

Joyce
