I'm so blessed that GOD crossed my path with Sister Joyce at the Georgia Medicaid Office as a "very good friend and co-worker". She immediately struck me as a "Big Sister Type" in every way with her "motherly wisdom". She and my youngest daughter (Taura) shared the same B'day. I am very glad we had the chance to speak with her several times over the phone and once by-e-Mail before she passed away this year and through B'day Cards over the years. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you Ms. Melva (her true Lil'sunshine). Now she's an angel-n-heaven again along with my Mom and others. So, you be of Good Courage and continue to wait upon the Lord, (Isaiah 40:31). This is a "favorite" verse (somewhat faded now) on a Coffee Cup I still "hold dear" that your Mother gave me when I left Medicaid in 1997. Our prayers are with you all. May your "memories" bring comfort and peace.
Love in Christ,
~Sister Gwen, Tameka & Taura Copedge, in Georgia

My life was blessed by knowing Joyce and trying to follow her motherly example for the past 20 years. She was one of the sweetest and most loving women I've known, who loved Melva dearly and was so very proud of her. Melva is a shining example of the type Mother and woman Joyce was. May your memories bring you comfort while she is at peace in God's kingdom.
