To the Turner, Fellows and Moody families,

I am so sorry to hear of Joyce's passing. I had a lot of good times growing up with her and Carolyn on Emmet St. It's always so sad to see another one of our friends leave this life. May your faith in God comfort you during this difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am sending this condolence belatedly, because I was not aware of her death until today. Please accept my deepest symphathy on behalf of myself and all of the Wilson family.

To My Family,

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. Let your memories bring you comfort.

To The Family of Joyce Turner
What a wonderful Woman! What a wonderful Mother! What a wonderful Nurse! I had the privilege of working with Joyce many years ago caring for medically fragile children and adults with developmental disorders. She was such a kind and compassionate person, and she was so much FUN for them and those of us who worked with her! She talked of her two boys always. It was very obvious that she loved her children very much. Joyce will be missed by many. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Joyce and I go back many, many years ago when were fellow student nurses at the old St. Joseph School of Nursing. I remember the times we spent studying together and quizzing each before we would take our test. Joyce was not only intelligent, but she had a great personality and a good sense of humor.
May she rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon her. God bless all her family during this difficult time.

To The Family of Joyce Turner.

I am so sad by the loss of Joyce. She and I go back almost 50 years. We were neighbors as children and young adults.
We remained friends. I remember cooking with her as young girls and planning for our futures. We had our first sons the same year. She was a wonderful and caring person. It is so hard to believe she is gone, only comfort in knowing her suffering is over makes it bearable. On behalf of the Shelby Family, please know we share in your sorrow.

To The Turner, Fellows and Moody Families,

We as family members of Uncle Jim and Aunt Jewel Moody, friends of Joyce, Robert especially, since going to the same jr. high school and same graduation class of Joyce at Tech, were very hurt as we heard of the loss of Joyce. She was a very nice person, classy, intellectual and just a person you would have the privilege of knowing. It's sad to see anyone leave this earth before what we fill is their time, but God knows best. The ailments for which she endured, will no longer be a bother to her. She is now pain free. I know she will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Our condolences and deepest sympathy to all of the family members. May God Bless all of you in this time of sorrow.
