Joyce, I knew you back in your Taco Bell days, way back when. You were then and have always been an amazing person. You were always a natural leader, with a beautiful smile and a twinkle in your eye. You always put everything into whatever you did. You are loved, will be missed and never forgotten. My prayers and condolences to her family for their loss. Love you Joyce!

Joyce's inner warmth and calming affect on those around her is what I will remember and cherish most. Her ability to laugh and rejoice in the smallest of things truly defined her character --- which was golden. Joyce worked for me many a year ago at Taco Bell, before her Burger King days. I can still hear the tone of her laugh and see the shining lights in her eyes ---- she is memorable. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family. God gained one of his brightest angels back the day Joyce departed this earth.

Joyce was an amazing woman. Any one that knew Joyce was truly blessed. So many of Joyce's employees looked to her as a role model, mother or sister figure and most of all a friend. She truly had a heart of gold. She always had words of wisdom for me and was devoted to all she knew. You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace BK Mama.
