Joyce was the dearest friend I ever had. The past few months were hard on her and her family but she stayed upbeat every time we talked. I love her like a sister and will miss her dearly. She has been my best friend for over 50 years, since high school. My prayers go out to Dick and the family. Love - Joyce Moore Briscoe (New Orleans)

Oh My dear friends, Joyce was allways remembered, how she and my Mother would talk and laugh together, how she allways gave me a tender hug,a sweet smile, and a soft word to encourage me and my son. As a tear falls down my face I am happy to know her place, no more sorrow no tears on her face, for she loves our SAVIOR and LORD. Now the plan for you is set I know you are happy even though you have left, We will go on and Praise our LORD cause that is what you would have us do, sweet memories of you will carry us through. All my love and pryers for Abdo Family <3

So sadened to hear of Joyce's passing. She was a real friend and a loving and kind, Godly woman. She was there for me many times and always showed much love and acceptance to me. I know Joyce is in Heaven now with the Saviour that she so faithfully served, but she will be truly, truly missed.
