Jessie and I were best of friends and inseparable as youngsters. I can still hear Joyce admonishing us to "don´t be ugly". I have many wonderful memories of Joyce. When my husband died, I quickly ran to Walmart to find some black pants. I ran into Joyce and she was so kind and helped me pick out a whole outfit to wear. She was such an empathetic woman and understood that I was not thinking clearly at that time. Rest in peace Joyce and enjoy the reunion with all your loved ones
