  1. I love her and I’ve always loved her I love her no matter who she was or what she did and I will continue to if she will let me

  2. Songs with the words Joy and rejoice played a lot in my head during the entire pregnancy, also my husband likes the connection with Saint Josse. Now that she’s here, our Joyce brings us so much joy!
