Joyce and I have been friends since the summer of 1970 when we attended a summer session together at Phillips Academy in Andover,Massachusetts. I'm deeply saddened by my friends' passing and regret that I was unable to bid her a proper "FAREWELL" but we'll meet again to continue our friendship.

Our deepest sympathy. Joyce will be missed. I will always remember her beautiful smile. I can remember when all of us were a lot younger, my brother Wrenches and Joyce would enjoy playing music together and the rest of us would join in and sing together. We had such a good time together. It is a blessing to know that our cousin had a true relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

To my supervisor, my sister in community service and big sister in the lessons of life, I have cried and sighed all that I can. While I believed we would do much more work together here, I now know that I must continue on my own. As you verbalized your trust in and expectation of me in our last conversation in person and in my dream, "Let's go to work"!
