Not sure what to say?

I don't know how to put into words the love I felt for Joyce. She was such a precious soul, so much fun, and so encouraging. I haven't seen you in years Joyce, but my heart is so sad at your passing. Save me a seat at your table Joyce!

To know her was an honor, she always made you feel special and loved... I always loved when she would make me her amazing brownie's.. she most definitely was a one of a kind gem... With love and my deepest sympathy... I pray God gives you all the strength you need to get through this most difficult time. God Bless

Joyce, Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory. You were a very special lady.

We were friends since we were 6 years old. She was always smiling and find to everyone. I am sure going to miss her.

Joyce was a classmate of mine. I was sadden to hear of her passing. She was a good friend. I know God will greet her with open arms.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Joyce was a friend, a co-worker and a sorority sister and we both enjoyed sitting after the Rome High Hilltoppers luncheons and talking about the good old days. But more importantly about our kids. She will be missed by many.

Carol, am thinking of you and your family and praying for divine peace and comfort to come to you! Love and prayers. Susan

Mrs Joyce always greeted us with a smile & was eager to hear about day. What an excellent loving, motherly example she was;...
