Dear Family and Friends of Joyce: Fourteen years ago I lost my best friend (Joyce) We talked every morning and every night while watching "Law & Order". I still miss her as if it was yesterday. I am thankful for the friendship that Joyce and I had and grateful that Terry, Chrys and Robins became my friends. I will forever keep Joyce within my heart. With Love Betty Jean,

Dear Family: Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of Joyce and you. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of my dear friend. I know you love her as much as I do. It's hard to believe that eleven years have passed. I will always carry her within my heart...Love you all Betty Jean

It is still very hard to comprehend that you're no longer here with us. Everyone misses you dearly. You would be so proud of Carter and Little Christopher, your new grandson. They both bring so much joy to the family. May you continue to watch over us and know we love you very much.
Rest in Peace,

I know that I am a little late signing this, but hey... Joyce knew I was never on time for anything anyway... I wish that you were still here... You were my other mother, my voice of reason and one of the few people to push me to want more... I miss you everyday, but I know that Stink has his Aunt Joyce again... Love you...

To Joyce my true friend I miss you and you will always be a part of my life because I will always carry you in my heart. You just celebrated another birthday on September 15th I was sad because I couldn't call you. I thank God for you being my friend.

The members of the Golden Hearts/YWCL would like to remember Joyce on this 1st year of her death. There is a void in our group because we all miss the joy and hard work Joyce brought to our group. As we celebrated the league's 50th anniversary last week,Joyce was remembered during our ceremony.We know that if she had been there,she would have played a major part in getting the program together.She will always be a part of the Golden Hearts.
May the Lord bless and keep all of you in His care.

Dear Jayme and Kristi,
On this anniversary of your mother's passing, I want to say again how sorry I am for your loss. It is especially hard for a child to lose a parent, and I hope that as the year has gone by,your heart has started to heal.
I am thankful that even though I live so far away, Joyce and I were able to keep in touch, using the computer. She was on my "Buddy List" and I was on hers, so when we saw each other's names pop up online, we would stop what we were doing an chat for a while. She was a very funny person, and we would talk about the highs and lows of everyday life and laugh a lot.
At the end of her life, we all saw what a generous and loving person she was to her family and to so many others, and how she made such a difference in the lives of those around her.
All of us in the family hold you in our hearts. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Love,
Your cousin Jackie

For My Dear Friend:
More and more, as time goes by, I count my richest treasures, the friends who've come and stayed a while with me...
Friends whose love and loyalty no words can ever measure, the ones who've walked the extra mile with me...
For I've been blessed with many friends in many different places and learned the worth of all things real and true...
And most of all, I've learned the worth of dear, familiar faces-old friends, good friends, lifelong friends like you, Joyce...
Life riches are many, But few can compare with the joy that I found in the friendship we shared..
Missing you much.
Your Best Friend,
Betty Jean

Kristi, Jayme and the rest of the family:
Today, is sad for me because I lost my best friend one year today. Joyce and I woke up together and went to bed together almost everyday...always looking at Law & Order and the news every night...I find myself picking up the phone to call her and saying If Joyce was here I would be telling her what's going on.
I know she is in a better place, and we all well meet her, my sister and my brother some sweet day.
Krista and Jayme I know she would be proud of both you and especially little Carter.
I will keep you in my prayers.
Her Best Friend

To my Aunt Joyce,
It’s so hard to believe that you have been gone for a year. It still feels like I am living in a dream and that you would come back again, but in reality I know you are in a better place. Not a day goes by where I don’t reminisce on all the good times I had spending the night over your house with all the cousins and listening to your famous sayings that had us all laughing. May you continue to watch over us until we meet again.
Love Always,
Your Niece Wendy

Jayme & Kristi,
Today is very tough because it marks the first year of the passing of your mom. It's still very difficult to realize that she's no longer here with us physically but her spirit lives deep within our hearts. I'm comforted in knowing that she's in a better place with our Heavenly Father and smiling down on us. I love you tremendously and as a family we'll treasure the special memories of her.
Love, Aunt Terry

Ms. Charity was a great woman who will continue to be remembered in our hearts and minds. I know that she is proudly watching her grandson from above. It is hard to believe that today will mark the one year anniversary of her untimely homegoing, but we find comfort in knowing that her soul is at rest.
Though we mourn the loss of our mother, daughter, sister, friend, or colleague we should also celebrate knowing that she is in a much better place.
I would like to offer my condolences to Jayme, Kristi and the entire Hackney family.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
—John 11:25
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

Jayme & Kristi,
I can't believe a year has almost passed by... I still find myself looking at Aunt Joyce's contact information in my phone ready to hit the send button to hear her voice. I miss her so much!!! But, what gives me comfort and strength is knowing that (1) She is with our Heavenly Father; and (2) we have been so blessed to have had a wonderful woman like her in our lives. I am so lucky to have been able to call her my Aunt.
As I've told Elaina, "Even though Aunt Joyce is not physically here, she will always be in our hearts." So, when I get that urge to hit the send button on my cell phone, I sit back and remember her smile, her laugh and her love.
Never forget to stay in prayer and we will always be here for you whenever you need us..
Love always,
Your cousin Chan

Kristi and Jayme,
Your mom loved life and wanted everyone to be happy. But God had other plans for her. I am sure she is watching you. She would want you to continue to live a happy life. We are here if you need us.

Jayme and Kristi,
Your mom was a beautiful person inside and out. She was a very spiritual person and she did a lot of good things for so many people. She loved you more than life itself and always wanted the best for you two. I will pray for you and will be here for you if you need anything. Joyce is resting with the Lord and she will always be our light and the beacon of hope that shines on us.
I love you

Jayme & Kristi -
It has been almost a year since your mom passed. Even after all this time, I still can't comprehend it.
Joyce had always been there, not only for me, but for all of her siblings. She opened up her home to each of us when we left the country (Amelia County) to move to the big city, Richmond. She was at the hospital with me and Jerry seventeen years ago when Stephanie was born. I could go on and on.
Know that I am here for you two and I know your mom is in heaven watching over you. We will see her again!!
Lots of love,
Aunt Chrissy

EVEN THROUGH YOU AND JOYCE WERE NO LONGER MARRIED, YOU TWO DID HAVE A CONNECTION, OUT OF YOUR MARRAIGE YOU TWO PRODUCT TWO BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.

MY ANSWER IS NO WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEING. ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE. YOU CRY ON AND MISS HER. BUT GOD WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS AND HOLD ON AND BE THERE FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDSON.

To Kristi and Jamie,
As a dear friend to Daner I want you to know that you are not alone as you continue your journey here on this earth. Your mother will always be here with you and beside you in mind and spirit. Every step you take you will forever feel her presence and hear her voice in times of ambiguity. In remembrance of your mother I send to you a poem that I wrote in memory of my mother who passed when I was a very young lady. Umbika means beautiful in Swahili. May God bless and keep you both close to his heart.
Umbika
(A Swahilian Verse)
To look upon your face is to see the morning dew
gently glistening and shining through,
to mirror an image that is so distinctively, beautifully
you.
You are Umbika,
You rise, you fall, you laugh, you cry, you move as if you
are
traveling in time with the wind beneath your embrace
May the fragrance of your hair and the warmth of your eyes
never subdue the vibrancy that is so distinctively,
beautifully you.
You are Umbika,
From now until then and to the very end
when the dew is no longer in view,
I'll remember your scent, your smell that is so
distinctively, beautifully you.
You are Umbika

Michael Johnson
July 10, 2008
To my Aunt Joyce,
I thought I saw your face today,
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angels say
"Her work on earth is done."
I thought I heard your voice today,
Then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angels say
"There's peace for you at last."
I thought I felt her tpuch today,
In the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angels say
"The spirit never dies."
I thoguht that you had left us,
For the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angels say
"She left us with her love."
I thought that I would miss her,
And never find my way.
And then I heard the angels say
"She's with you every day."
Aunt Joyce you will be missed, but never forgotten. You taught me many morals that I will never forget and encouraged me in many ways. We will miss your smile and will continue to share memories of you. We all now know that you are in a much better place and will continue to smile down upon us until we meet again.
Love,
Your loving nephew Michael

I justed wanted you both to know how much I love you and as a family we will carry on.
With Love Always,

To the Charity/Hackney Family:
I am so sorry and was so shocked to hear of Joyce’s passing. Joyce was a wonderful person. As a long time co-worker she was a joy to know and have as a friend. We shared many good times together those in which I will cherish and remember her. The last time I heard from Joyce when she sent me a picture of her grandson.
To the Family, may you always cherish the sweet and precious memories of Joyce. Keep your hands in God’s hands. I will always cherish the time we spent together.
To God Be The Glory, Love.

Dear Ms. Hackney, Jamie, Kristi, Robin,Terry, Norma,Chris,Shirley & Dan:
As you know Joyce and I were very close, and I will truely miss talking with her everyday. I admired her for all the accomplishments she made even when stumbling blocks were in her pathway. She was a very determine and discipline person. I know God will give me strengh to endure but, it will be tough. Joyce and I shared so much with each other from day to day. She was a woman of character, charm, respect, a perfectionist, always on time for everything. I love Joyce, and will always carry her in my heart. I thank God that we became friends. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
July 8, 2008
Dear Robin,
My heartfelt condolences to you and your sister's family. I did not know Joyce, but because I know you, I so deeply feel and share in your loss. Joyce sounds like a wonderful, beautiful and very loved person - those are the memories you should hold on to. To be absent from this place on earth, is to be present with the Lord. I believe Joyce is with the Lord smiling with the angels. Continue to seek God for strength and comfort. That will be my prayer for you and your family.
Love you,

Although I have known Joyce for a short time (2 1/2 years), I considered her to be a dear friend. We served on the Bride of Christ, Inc. ministry together, and I loved her very much. I talked to her the same day that the Lord called her home. I will forever cherish our time together.

Joyce will be greatly missed by all of the "Green Dragon" family! Her smile, spirit, sense of humor were uplifting as you entered the school office. MLWGS was a better place because of her. And now I have learned that the gifts she gave were to many, many people and MLWGS was just one of the many blessed by her presence. My prayers are with her family in their time of grief.

Dear Family and Friends;
I give you my heartfelt sympathy.
Joyce found great pleasure in helping and caring about other people to ensure their life was full and complete, never wanting in return.
I know that the peace in her life that she so fervently longed for, was given to her immediately.
Joyce always found comfort in reading her Bible and talking to God.
"To be absent from this body, is to be present with the Lord."
Joyce was such a great friend to my family.
We will Love and Remember you always,
Lynn

Ms. Joyce,
You were such a beautiful person inside and out and you will be greatly missed. I have always respected and honored you just as I would my own mother, I am so glad that your grandchild and I were able to spend so much time with you in your last days here on earth. Above all I thank God for you because without you I would have never meet your daughter, the love of my life. I know that you are watching and I will always be here for your daughter and Carter. I know that you always wanted the best for us and I have not forgotten what I promised you the day that I asked for your daughter's hand in marriage. I am so thankful that we were able to give you your flowers while you were still here. I know that you accepted Christ as your saviour so know you are resting, and though we are all still grieving your daughter and I feel peace, and hope knowing that you are in a much better place than us. We will always honor you and we will never forget all that you taught us.

Joyce, what am I going to do when I return to Maggie Walker and not hear your voice or see your face? I'll have no one to call me to ask "what's for for lunch, you know I'm swamped up here." I'll have the MEMORIES, and I'll treasure them! Jamie & Crissy, my prayers are with you. God has called another one of His Angels home. May His blessings continue to flow over you.
