One year ago, heaven gained our wonderful angel, Joyce. Joyce was diagnosed with stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma in her right calf muscle in August 2016, beat it, and went into remission. In February of 2017, Joyce relapsed and the doctors were forced to amputate her leg. She continued to fight every day of her life with the biggest smile, most positive attitude, and, of course, the best rapping and singing. Joyce gained her angel wings on January 30th, 2020. Since then, there’s never ...been a day when Joyce hasn’t been in the hearts and minds of the Zetaus family. Please consider supporting the Ortiz family, as we reminisce and celebrate Joyce’s life and all the special moments we shared with her today. We fight as one for Joyce, and, as always, For The Kids Here is a video some of our members made recounting their favorite memories of Joyce. https://donate.thon.org/index.cfm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X158tWrQL20&t=290s See more
