Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow. Joyce was our neighbor in Pinewood Manor a few years back and she taught our son John last year. We were happily surprised she remembered him. He is very saddened by her passing. "She was a good teacher".

A teacher to the core! Joyce used that gift in all she did. When it came to sharing God's love, all the more so. She had a keen way of explaining the 'big picture' of His love. When Joyce taught bible class things things that most of us thought we already knew went CLICK in a whole new way. I remember her and Russ from Palm Sprins Baptist but I am more gratefull for knowing her in the last few years a First Baptist LW and her involvement in church life.



You are missed but your legacy lives on at First Baptist Lake Worth and Melech Yisreal.



God's Blessing to all the family at this time.
