To the Abston Family,
I cant believe it is 5 years since Joyce left us. There is still a void in my life since her passing. We had so much history together beginning as kids from the same neighborhood and our growing up and high school years at Holy Ghost High School. May the good memories that sustain me provide consolation, to you, her family.

My sincere sympathy to the Abston family for the lose of such a wonderful person. Over the years I was able to have many conversations with Mrs Abston and she was always a joy to talk to. She would even flag me down on election day to make sure I went to the polls to vote. I will greatly miss her sitting on the front porch, waving her hand yelling Heeeeey Ness. My prayers are with you always.

My deepest condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss. Joyce was a classmate of mine - Class of 1964 at Holy Ghost High School in Opelousas, LA. Together, we shared many childhood experiences, both at school and in our homes. Our friendship expanded into adulthood and our paths crossed from time to time. I will always remember her as a loving and compassionate person and one who was never afraid to voice her opinion. I admired that about her. She had lots of courage. May she find everlasting peace in the arms of Jesus.
