Kristine Sutherland did a great job bringing Joyce to life on the show and made her the mother we all wish we had – kind and loving, but stern when it comes to discipline.
I’m sure that Kristine felt kind of sad when she saw the Season 5 episodes “The Body” and “Forever” and knew that her character, on whom she based her own experiences of being a mother herself, had died. But she also accepted that her character was going to die as she was going to spend some time in Europe, and was absent for the fourth season on Buffy because she had been traveling.
This is an awesome fanart you made in the memory of Joyce Summers. :) She was a great mom, a great friend, and a warm, maternal presence in the lives of Willow and Xander, who, I am sure, appreciated her being there for them. :)

All of your pix are great! I just wanted to add a bit to your scenario, They could have given up the supernatural to give their daughter a normal life and then some sucker didn't realize that Buffy was still alive and wanted to mess with Xander... they wouldn't know what hit them!
