July 29, 2017
I keep thinking of Mrs. Joyce and her laughter. She was such a good person, I loved her like my second mother. As I said before, she gave me first perm, and my first tamale. After all of these years, she still holds a large warm place in my heart. I know the Lord needed her in heaven and took her on home. I ask Mrs. Joyce to say hello to my mother in heaven, Edith, who left this earth 10/7/15. They would have been great friends if they had met on earth, now they are both Angels in heaven, praising, worshipping and giving Christ Jesus, all the glory. I love you, Mrs. Joyce.

I can't believe Mrs.Joyce has departed from earth and gone on to heaven to be with the Lord Jesus. Rest well my friend. Your kindness will never be forgotten, you treated me like one of your own daughters. And I felt like one of her family members, thanks to Sherry and Pat. May God comfort the family at this time and hold them allclose to His heart, especially Mr. Lois Watts. God Bless the Family.
Sincerely, Esther (Hawkins) Netz

Mrs.Joyce Watts was a dear friend of mine. She use to do my hair. I met her through her daughters Sherry and Pat. Mrs. Joyce was going to let me move in with her and her family, my aunt and I had differences. I had my first tamale with Mrs. Joyce and she gave me my first hair permanent. She was an awesome person, with a big big heart. I was always sorry I didn't stay in contact with her. You Rest In Peace Mrs.Joyce, and say hello to my mother, Edith Brown, who went to heaven 10/7/2016. God Bless the family. I pray for comfort for the family and that the Holy Spirit will be with them at this time.
God Bless,

Joyce and I worked together at Milwaukee County Dept. of Social Welfare. She was always positive and a pleasure to work with. Everyone loved and respected Joyce. She was Mrs. Watts no first name out of respect. As a fellow Milwaukee County Retiree, I send my sincere condolence to the Watts Family.
May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who fall asleep in death, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes.
