Condolences to David, Eddie, Mikell, Sandra Lynn, Rhonda & all of Joyce's family. I only got to know her within the last year, but I cherish every memory of her and Derl. We went to doniphan to eat one day and went by the flea market and we had an interesting day that day. Another day we all sat out and sang hymns on the porch. Power in the blood, I'll fly away and Derl joined in. I enjoy all my memories with them. I only wish I had known them longer. I hope she's strolling over heaven with Derl. May God bless all of you and may the memories live in your hearts forever and provide you peace now.
