Hope for the Hurt Heart Liaison
Joyce has been with Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers since March 2012, following the loss of her husband. Before that, she spent 24 years teaching at Monterey High School. After losing both of her sons—one to a drunk driver and the other to suicide—Joyce founded the grief support group, Hope for the Hurt Heart, to help parents coping with the loss of a child. She believes the pain from her own losses was too great not to lead to something meaningful, and her mission in guiding this group is to provide comfort and hope to other parents navigating the difficult journey of child loss.
