Joyce was a great inspiration for me she was always upbeat and positive with a great smile. Never complaining I knew she has great pain the past year she would share just a bit and then say "what can you do it is all in God's hands" we will miss her dearly was a great joy to know her.
It will not be the same without her in her Church chair. Your pain free now and with Jesus what a joy!
