Joyce was my mother Noreen “Bingy” O’Connor-Ardolino’s best friend. She would come over to have tea and smoke cigarettes and talk. She would always make us put our cat away, and no matter what cat it was she would call them “Herman”. My sister and I would also go to her house with her big family, and would eat “Hamburger Meatballs”. She made a huge impact in my mother’s life, and my mother loved her dearly. Unfortunately, the last time I saw her was when my mother died in 1993. She was a big part of my early childhood.
