I was very Saddened to hear about Joyce's passing today. She was my first true friend I met when I moved to Charlotte in 1983, even though I was the Bosses girlfriend. We had many fun, fun times together and she would always try to make a Southern Girl out of me! The thing I will remember most about Joyce was her Beauty both inside and out! She was truly a "class act". My sincere condolences to Joyce's Family and Friends.

My deepest condolences to your family during this most difficult time. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who pass on are precious in his eyes. Psalms 116:15.
