It's been almost a year and it still feels like yesterday. You will forever live within my heart. I will always remember the good times, the laughter, the conversations, and love we shared. What a wonderful spirit and generous heart. I love and miss you Aunt Joyce. Rest In Paradise amongst the rest of God's angels... <3

My heart goes to the family. I had the opportunity to be a part of the family for several years due to a relationship with her nephew. In those years, Joyce treated me with kindness and love. Whenever you need a shoulder to cry on or real talk, Joyce would always be there. It saddens my heart to know she is no longer here with us. I am glad she is no longer suffering and in the comfort of the Lord. Love you Joyce. You will forever be in my heart.
