It is with great sadness that I offer my condolences in the passing of your mother, but it is also with great joy that I remember the beautiful friendship, relationship and spiritual connection we had with Sister Lillian Joyce and the entire family. Sister Lillian Joyce was a part of the Bethsaida Baptist Church Senior Ministry in Lexington, Kentucky and became a part of the hearts of the entire Bethsaida Church Family. Sister Joyce participated with the Senior Ministry and Church activities as her health allowed. When she could no longer come out to Bethsaida, we came to her. I value the times we shared and thank the family for allowing us to come in and sing, have prayer, fellowship and bring Sister Joyce her favorite meal. It was a blessing that our paths crossed in Kentucky and a blessing to have been able to share with Sister Lillian Joyce and her entire family. My husband and I have moved to North Carolina, but the Holy Spirit keeps His own connected. Please know Curtis & Judith that our hearts and prayers reach ever so deeply and know you are in our thoughts. To God be all the Glory and Praise for the good work you have done. Love you, Brother & Sister Worthy
