Again, sadness clouds the Class of '63. Although Royce was a classmate who gave so much back to this world, it is a bittersweet moment. On once hand knowing she no longer suffers and the on the other, the loss the family feels.
My thoughts to the family. It was an honor to know your mother

Royce and I we're child hood friends and kept in touch through the years. Saw many movies together, danced to American bandstand after school and cruised the k many a Friday night. I have so many memories of Royce and will miss her. RIP. JANET NEELY BREWEN

So sad to lose yet another great classmate--I remember Royce, with whom I shared some classes--a lovely, warm girl. Strong thoughts to her family. Diana (Doupé) Vicari

I knew Royce from Holy Spirit Elementary School. She was a wonderfully sweet woman, even as a girl. Older in the soul than in years.
