Joyce was such a special and lovely person. She had a precious Christian testimony and was loved by all who knew her. At The Telegraph she was always an encouragement and blessing to me. Her passing is definitely our loss and Heaven's gain.

Tony and family - there are no words to express our sadness at this time. Joyce has been my true friend, co-worker and confidant for so many years. We shared our joys - especially with the births of our grandchildren - she so loved her "grands"! I will miss her sweet spirit and gentle manner always. May God bring comfort to you all.
