Mansfield, Ma, US
My Dear Sister Joyce, Our family is devastated by your departure from our lives. You lived your life with honor and dignity, providing care to countless patients at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. When not at work you led a rich and rewarding life spending time with family and your dear friend Kyle. Our childhood years were wonderful times summering on Beach Road in Orleans with the Abbott family where we had endless carefree days on the pristine beaches of Skaket and Nauset. I will always cherish memories of our after beach Sunday family barbecues, both Christmas Eve and Day family gatherings and countless birthday celebrations. Later we both journeyed to Boston College where we matured, made wonderful friends and you achieved a Nursing degree! We were so proud of you. You were so successful in your Nursing career. In your sickness I met many of the medical team you labored with and learned how both deeply respected and loved you were. I will miss you! All will miss you! We will struggle in the coming months to understand why we lost you as find strength to carry on. Chrissy, Ally, Sarah and Timmy love you! Love Always Brother Bob

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts. We were so blessed to have Joyce as our neighbor. Two girls from West Roxbury ending up living next door to each other. We had so many great conversations meeting up in the driveway going to work or coming home. Hours together shoveling snow and solving the worlds problems! We will miss her so much, but I will always see her now, walking across her lawn, with that beautiful smile heading to her favorite place, Cape Cod. She will come to you in a dream, a funny moment, a song, a smell. That will be Joyce telling you she is still with you everyday. Much love, Matt, Shiovan , Colleen & James

My sincere sympathy to all who knew Joyce. She will be missed greatly. I'm happy I had an opportunity to meet her at the Pain Management Center. I will remember her wonderful smile. I've sat here for quite sometime and just can not find the right words. Just know my thoughts are with you all. Why some have to leave us so young is beyond me. I'm thankful to have known Joyce and I know her spirit will continue to live on in us all.

Dear Mr and Mrs Bradley and the Abbot family, I am keeping you all in constant prayers.....and am praying for your children, grand children and whole family. I adored Joyce! I would look forward to seeing her at Nauset or Skaket, her smile, her funny gift for talk! I always loved all the stories she would share with me about my brother Rich. She will always be remembered as someone who made a difference, who stood out, who cared, who was a dear friend, someone who was more in focus then others..... I do have strong faith...and I do know we all will see her again. I do believe she is in Heaven with God. May God bless each of you, grant you peace and healing, and may you know how many people loved your daughter, sister, cousin. With deepest sympathy, Laura and sons Nicholas (or as Joyce would call him 'Little Rich') , and William.

Dear Nancy, I probably have not seen you since Margaret's wake, but my heart goes out to you and your husband in this time of terrible sadness. Your daughter looks beautiful and I am sure that, as a nurse, she brought comfort to hundreds over the years. Perhaps you may take comfort from our Blessed Mother as she faced the awful task of burying a Child. I will pray that during the days to come you will find strength. God bless your family and may your beautiful Joyce rest in peace. Sincerely, Walt Sweeney

Dear Bradley family, What a joy it was to know your beautiful daughter and to be her friend. I met Joyce 15 years ago on the shuttle bus to Brigham and Women's hospital, where we both worked as nurses. Her wit, smile and infectious laugh will always be fondly remembered! Joyce loved her family...she talked about all of you, ALL the time, especially adored her neices and nephews!! Joyce was loved, respected and admired by all who knew her...a fantastic, hard working nurse, she was all about her patients! My husband and I will always be so greatful for all her help and assistance during his past illness! Joyce ...I will miss you dearly!

To my dear little red-headed sister. I remember the day you were born and the phone rang to tell us that we had a new little sister. I jumped up and down with JOY. Mum and Dad gave you an appropriate name because you were a source of JOY to everyone for 45 years. John, Bobby, you and I had a wonderful childhood and we will cherish the memories of birthday parties, Christmas mornings, and summer days at Da's cottage in Orleans. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. You were my best friend and my secret keeper. If love could have healed you, you would have been cured immediately. Joyce, you are taking my heart with you! Susan

Dear Nancy and Jack, I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Joyce like a sister, in fact, she was the sister I never had. She was fun and people loved to be in her company. She was a kind, caring, hardworking girl who loved her family and friends. I will always remember how good she was to Danny and Kevin. She was a hands-on aunt who loved to play games, ski and swim. She always beat me at poker and scrabble! She was a smart girl and always teased me about the words I played. I will miss that. I will treasure all the wonderful beach days at Nauset, Skaket and Hardings. Our little house on Barbara Drive will never be the same. We will have to gain strength from our memories. Love, Skip

Dear Nana and Papa, I am so sad that Joyce will no longer be part of my life. She was always present at all the major events of my life. We had fun playing "March" to Heigh Ho when I was a little boy. We had fun playing poker, scrabble, skiing and playing kick the can at the Orleans cottage. I will try to grow up to be the person my Godmother would want me to be. She will be an Angel in heaven watching over me forever. I love you Joyce. Love your #1 nephew, Danny

I recall bringing my children to the Pain Clinic and she always took some time to say hello. Joyce knew all their names and ages. She was always excited to see how they all had grown. She was a pleasure to see every time I went to the Pain Clinic. She was the sweetest person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. -Darlene Nedeljkovic

Canton, MA, USA
Dear Nancy, Jack, John, Bob and Sue - I am heartbroken over the sad news of Joyce's passing. Joyce was a beautiful person, inside and out. She brought joy and happiness to all who knew her. I always thought of her as the older sister I had never had and she always looked out for me throughout our lives together. I am grateful for the blessing of the special friendship I shared with her. She was taken from us too soon and there are no words to describe the sense of loss I feel at this time. I have such fond and happy memories of the Bradley, Abbott and Freeman kids spending many wonderful days riding the waves at Nauset, walking down to the channel at Skaket, Orleans Summer Rec campouts, picnics and many family gatherings and parties over the years. I was especially close to Joyce, Leslie and Yvonne growing up. There are countless memories of our times together on the Cape, at Boston College and at Leslie's sitting around the firepit, playing Dance Party with the kids, debating politics and the news of the day, or watching Dancing With The Stars. We shared so many laughs together and I always enjoyed being with her. Joyce was a ray of sunshine and brightened all of our lives with her thousand watt smile, infectious laugh and inner beauty. She brought so much joy and laughter to my life. Whenever we were together, she made me feel cared for and loved. She was a talented, charming, hard working, caring, fun-loving person and I will miss her dearly. There is a hole in my heart that will be hard to fill. I am sincerely sorry for your devastating loss. May your faith in God and your beautiful memories of Joyce help you heal and provide the solace you need during this difficult time. I am comforted in knowing that Joyce is in heaven looking out for all of us from up above. And I look forward to the day when we are all reunited for that "endless summer" in a more serence and heavenly place. She was an amazing person and I admired her greatly. I am here for you, so please let me know if there is anything I can do to comfort you in your time of need. I loved Joyce with all my heart and I will miss her greatly!! My family and I send our deepest condolences to all the Bradleys and Abbotts. With love, Colleen

I was shocked and saddened today when I learned of Joyce's passing. She was not only my nurse at Brigham and Women's for the past 15 years she was my friend. I will never forget her beautiful smile and that infectious laugh of her's. She always helped me to see the positive side of any situation. I will never forget all of the wonderful conversations I shared with Joyce. She was an amazing nurse to many and always went to bat for her patients. I will miss seeing her at the clinic but I will never forget her. Such a beautiful person. My heart goes out to her family, I'm so sorry she was taken from this life far to soon. I do know that heaven gained a most beautiful soul and she will be watching over all of us. Joyce was a very special person and she touched so many. She will be greatly missed.

Hi Joyce, It's been 2 months now and it still doesn't seem real. I keep thinking you're just on vacation. I have seen you mom, sister and brother and niece. They are managing, but miss you very much. Your niece got her driver's license so, that's very exciting. I really enjoy seeing them when they come to your house. It's a nice reminder of you. It's been a long and cold winter. It's March now and hopefully warmer weather will arrive soon. The world is as crazy as ever. Work your magic up there!! You know what changes we need!!! Well, I think of you every day and I take comfort in knowing you are in a better place. I will see you again, someday.

Hi Joyce, It is now about four and a half months since you left. Your family misses you so much. I enjoy seeing them when they come by, I wish I could help them with their sorrow. I told them about your Sycamore tree... It sheds it bark. Your mom and Susan thought it was dead. I told them, what you told me. Your flowers are coming up and they look beautiful. They are starting to build a new house across the street! I'm finally going to get the house sided. It will look so much better. I still think you are just on vacation, but now that your car comes and goes, it's becoming more real. I picture in the backyard, watering your flowers. James still asks about you. He knows you are an Angel looking over everyone. He still goes running up to your door trying to get in... He thinks you are at work. Imagine, James is 3 today and the impression you left is so strong with him. I imagine how much stronger it is for your family. You are thought of everyday. If you see my dad, Tom, tell him who you are and that we miss him. Xo
