To the Family:
We knew Joyce and Norman for many years. Roger worked with Norm in construction. We use to go to their house to visit, and they always gave us warm welcomes. Two wonderful people, what a loss for all. We are in FL so unable to be there.

Joyce was one of the most caring and loving person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Both her and Norm would be right there to help you without any questions asked. God gave them to us to show what good people could do here on earth. May the family know how much they were loved by all their friends.

The first time I met Norm and Joyce Hughes I immediately knew what love, friendship and family was. I was told to call them Aunt Joyce and Uncle Normy. These were two people who could teach all of us to find goodness in everyone. I will miss them and remember our good times together always. My prayers are with all the family. We share your loss.
