Joyce Siegel

August 31st, 2016

Joyce and I lived about 1/2 block from each other. Until we were 12 yrs. old we were almost, literally glued together.

We had a victory garden together. And, even when it was 25 degrees outside, as soon as the snow was shoveled, we were out there skating.

The victory garden reminded me that our picture was taken together in front of a wagon filled with vegetables. This incident happened about 2 yrs. ago. I came across the picture, a few years ago. and sent it to Joyce.

We spoke about 2 yrs, ago and she told me she was sending me something, a surprise.
When her letter came, I couldn’t believe it! It was a copy of the picture I sent her a few years before. She put a note on it. Remember! I never told her that I had sent her the original picture.

And, not to forget Marilyn, we usually went to the Lexington theater Saturday afternoons. We used to say we were shlepping Marilyn with us

We hadn’t been in touch for a number of years. I had moved to Los Angeles and was visiting Chicago and staying with a friend whom Joyce knew. They bumped into each other and Joyce asked her if she still heard from me. She said yes. In fact, she’ll be coming here in a week. Joyce asked her to have me call her. I did and we saw each other.

After that, were spoke to each other from time to time. And, when I would visit Chicago, we would get together.

We were a big part of each other’s life. She will be missed.

Please have Marilyn contact me. Henderson is a suburb of Las Vegas. 702-436-9653.

My condolences to the whole family.

Judy
