Condolences to Bruce and Joyce's family. I feel that it was an honor that I
met Joyce. She made me feel welcome immediately when I started playing
with the Thursday League and I will always look up to her and hope to aspire
to be as great a human being as she was.

It has been my great privilege to know Joyce since she and Bruce
accompanied my UIndy group to Israel in 1994. It was a great delight when
they joined my church, North UMC several years ago. Joyce was beautiful in
body and soul. It was always wonderful to be around her. When I visited her
recently, she really perked up when I asked her to tell me about her
grandchildren whose pictures were proudly displayed. I will miss her very
much. May the many wonderful memories you have of her comfort you in
your grief.

I will dearly miss Joyce as we shared tennis and bookclub. I feel blessed that
she introduced me to Donna who has become such a good friend. Your
family will continue to be in my prayers as you adjust to the loss of your
mother and wife.

My condolences to Bruce and the family. I knew Joyce from tennis and was
always amazed at how easy she made the game look. She always had a smile
as she effortlessly returned the shots, always seeming to be in the right spot.
While I played hard, she played smarter, which is why she could keep up
with the younger players. I will fondly remember that lesson.

Joyce is and will always be missed ... she was my light and inspiration in so
many ways, and I will miss her dearly. She was encouraging, supporting,
and always a friend and enjoyable tennis friend. We have truly missed seeing
Joyce, and I was thrilled to have lunch with her in June. She was so happy to
be with everyone, and it was so nice to talk with her. The joy of her life was
her husband, Bruce, and family ... and she was so proud to be a Great
Grandmother. Thank you, Donna, for living in our neighborhood where I
first met your dear mother. We became close friends through playing tennis,
and she was always so complimentary of our home and gardens. Joyce will
be missed, but she is in a better place and will be watching over all of us.
God Bless all of you, Deb

many tennis matches together and it always amazed me how well she played.
Many opponets marveled at her age after she had beaten them. I remember a
matched that we played against women in their 30's. After we beat them, I
informed them as to Joyce's age. They could not believe that they had just
been beaten by an 80 year old. One of them wanted to call Oprha and get her
onto the show. We just laughed.
I have missed playing tennis with her these past few months and will miss
her gentle way. I know that she will be far more missed by her family.
My prayers are with you.
Love

I remember Joyce from the League of Women Voters of Indianapolis. We
enjoyed meetings and events together. We had much in common--choir,
careers in the law, and community service. You are a lucky family to have
had her.
Dear Ones,
You're in my prayers in this time of loss.
I always knew Mrs. Laetsch was a special lady!
God bless her and you all!
Much love,

I remember Joyce from coming to visit Mrs. Janet Blue weekly at the Court
of Appeals. She was always a pleasant and very well dressed woman. She
carried a smile with her everytime i saw her. Condolescences to her family.

It is difficult to believe that such a vivacious person has left us. Joyce was
one of my favorite #72 mothers and became a cherished acquaintance. Seeing
her was always a pleasure. Although is may sound trite, she was a person
who actually twinkled when we met and conversed with one another. I am so
sorry you have to go on without her physical presence.

To Bruce & Family: My sincere condolences to you and your family on
Joyce''''s passing. My mistake was never actually meeting her, although I
saw her many times on an adjacent tennis court through the years. She
always seemed very energetic and had a great smile for everyone. My best
wishes to you & yours in this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry Bruce. Joyce was a wonderful person and was so very kind to
me although she didn't know me very well. The only time I spent with you
and she was at the Garfield tennis courts. But she always had a smile for
everyone. Take good care of yourself, Bruce.
