Not sure what to say?

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

To my lovely god-mother, may you rest in power as your work here is complete. We will miss you and we thank you for always being a steady presence in the life of me and my entire family. We are praying for the family and especially my god brother and sisters.

My most sincere condolences to all. Joyce was such a magnificent high class caliber of a woman. She was so instrumental in assisting with my marriage to Jacqueline Theresa Buchanan & am so indebted to her. May God give Joyce eternity in a heavenly resting location that befits her so elegantly.

I send my prayers and condolences to the Massenburg family in this intimate time. In her last days, I had the joy and please of watching over her, and it was a honor. She was always loving and kind to me. She loved to ask questions and share her life story about her being a teacher and talking about her love for her children and grandchildren. She was an adventurous somebody and loved going outside lol. I am going to miss her jokes and miss her saying “hey baby” every time i walked through...

May God comfort and strengthen you and your families heart. Love and prayers to you all.

My sincere condolences to family of Joyce Massenburg. Her beautiful daughter Joy is our youth Pastor. Joyce and I connected later in life, it was so organic. We clicked instantaneously. She will be sorely missed and she is deeply loved. May her memory always be a blessing

What a beautiful person. I am soo glad to have the opportunity to know and love you. Praying for your family and friends. Thank you for sharing Joy with me. We will miss you dearly.

To The Family
May God's strength comfort and
Loving care be with each of you.
