This wonderful woman was my great aunt. Ironically, I only ever met her twice, at the funerals of two of her brothers, but I didn't get a chance to come to hers. My dad and I both remember her as one of the sweetest people in our whole family. At my granddaddy's funeral, she was the first to say hello and give me a hug. Rest in peace, Aunt Joyce Carolyn.

My prayers for comfort during this time. So sorry to hear of another loss of our Kirk family. Joyce Carolyn had just left a message on my mother (Joyce Kirk) on-line obituary in December. It was so sweet of her to remember my mother. I did not know Joyce Carolyn although I may have met her in my younger years. I do remember Kirk family members spreak of her very fondly. May God bless all family members and may Joyce Carolyn rest in peace in the arms Jesus.
Abbie (Kirk) Grillo, daughter of Bill and Joyce Kirk, grandaughter of Cleburne and Hilda Kirk, Waco,Tx.
