Joyce and I started to communicate a few years back on face book. I got to know her a lil bit then. She is my first cousins, but and I would tell her that she looks just like my mother, Dorethea Wilkes Bowers her Auntie. Sorry to hear about her home going. We know God don't make mistakes. She will be missed by her loveones. The family here in Tenn. sends our Love and Condolencesthat's her Aunt Doe.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. Mama Love, as I called her growing up was my best friend Rob's mom, and like a mother to me as well.
After Rob's passing, a piece of Mama Love was lost as well. She's finally with her Robert now and forever. May you now Rest EZ Mama Love
Sincerely, your other son Dana
