Our lives are intertwined for a time or season. For many years, Earline and I lived around the corner from each other. We shared many heartfelt joyous conversations about the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. Her compassion and empathy for others was a true testament to her faith. She loved others unconditionally and gave of herself unselfishly. My heartfelt condolences to Ms.Joyce and to her family and friends who's lives she touched in such a profound way.Her physical presence will be truly missed.

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of my childhood and very close friend Earline. Yesterday, I thought about how we just enjoyed hanging out on Schuylkill Avenue, going to school together and graduating from Reading High. To Alvinzar, Ms. Joyce, Cheryl and the rest of the family, know that I am praying for each of you. May God give you all a peace beyond all understanding and may you continue to remember how she touched so many lives mine included. Be Blessed and Always encouraged

Earline was a mentor and dear friend. Working together in five different facilities, she supported and taught me many things. When adversities touched out lives she always had the right things to say with love and spirituality in her words. She will be deeply missed but always remembered.
