I am so sad to hear about Joyce. She was such a awesome lady, kind friend and very loving. She always had an open ear and loving heart and a happy smile. I loved her laugh it was one of a kind and we shared many laughs together. Sad to see such a caring lady leave us now but she is better now with her loving husband Ken and her daughter April. You all are in my prayers.

I was a classmate of Joyce's at SASD. She may be gone from our sight but will not be erased from our memories. I'll always remember her beautiful smile and sense of humor. My sincere condolences to her family.

What a strange emotion, to hear this sad news, but to instantly have happy wonderful memories of a woman that was so kind to my sweet Mamaw. Mom mentioned Joyce's jolly laugh, I think of Mamaw's too, as they saw each other once again, in heaven.

I'm so sad to hear this news. What a neat lady and I'm really thankful that God allowed our paths to cross. She was so wonderful to Mother and I think everyone who met Joyce was truly fond of her. I can still hear her jolly laugh.

Joyce was the most amazing person. Some people are so wonderful that, even when they're gone, memories of the joy they brought to others linger on.
She will always be lovingly remembered by so many of us.
