Joyce lives in my heart and prayers. Hers was a life well lived. I had many creative classes with Sister Joyce at Georgian Court. She taught me the beauty of calligraphy and patiently sat for me so I could paint her portrait.
I remember how happy Sister Joyce was to have a personal tour of The Starn Twins art exhibit at the Met. She emailed me to hurry and see their amazing show, which I did.
Mike and Doug Starn, two internationally known artists from Absecon, NJ, were two of Sister Joyce's former HS students who built a 30'x40' bamboo construction on the sculpture roof garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2010, they gave Sr. Joyce a personal tour of the creative pathways through Big Bambu, as it was called.
I will miss you, Sister Joyce. To Joyce's family: May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
