Joyce will forever remain the most dedicated and admired of my coworkers.
Her warmth and humor have taken root in my heart.
I'm so grateful to have had the pleasure of knowing such an extraordinary woman.
Perhaps I'll see her again as she opens the golden gate for me. I love you, Joyce!

Dear Fenise, Danny & John,
I had the pleasure of working with your Mom for 12+ years at AHEPA. I was in Albuquerue, she, of course, in Indiana.'
I met Joyce at my first conference, and was immediately drawn to her by her outstanding personal and professional qualities.
In our down time, she always spoke with great pride of the 3 of you.
After retirement, we continued to talk on the phone every once in a while, and I so looked forward to her insights and humor.
My favorite "Joyce story" was when she had to make a short trip while working at the SSA. Coming out of the train station, she got into a cab, and gave the address. The "driver" looked sternly at her through the rear view mirror, and said, "M'am, this isn't a taxi". "Well, what is it?", she asked. "This is a police car!", he answered.
We all got a howl from that story.
I'll greatly miss your beautiful mother, and can only imagine your sorrow at her loss.
My sincere condolences to you, and best wishes for your futures.

The seeds a mother plants last forever and grow into a million loves all over again-reproducing flowers that turn into men and women. Although I have never met Mrs. Dunson, I have met extensions of her and witness her work in her two sons. Danny, I know your mother was incredible because you are. I am sending you all of my love, strength, and compassion during this time. May you always carry Her spirit and know that She protects you, whispering the sweetest things that only a mother knows to mutter. May God bless you. - ci phillips, with love
