While I was associate pastor at FUMC Killeen, Joyce and I would exchange hugs each Sunday morning. I admired her for many things including her stamina, her tenacity, her positive outlook, and her deep faith that God was with her every step of her life's journey. I thank God to have had the privilege of knowing this strong woman. Rev. Carol Roberts

Aunt Joyce was such a sweet lady. She always seemed genuinely happy to see me and my family when we came to Texas for a visit. I know she is in a beautiful place right now in her perfect body with no problems or pain. Love you Aunt Joyce. Till we meet again!

Joyce and I became friends at First United Methodist Church in Killeen many years ago. We sat together every Sunday and exchanged stories of families and the many places we both had lived. Joyce was very proud of her sons and loved it when one would visit. Although I missed her when she moved to Houston, at least we were still able to communicate on a daily basis. There is no doubt she is visiting with Jesus right now with her own sweet voice. Mary Pinson
