We are very sorry to hear of Aunt Joyce’s passing.
I am grateful to have gotten to see her as an adult and visit her in her home.
It was a joy to listen to her tell me about her life. It sounds like such a beautiful, fulfilling life spent with those she loved.
May God wrap his loving arms around Aunt Judy, Aunt Virginia, Aunt Lynda, Aunt Carol Ruth, Aunt Shirley, Uncle Arthur, Belva Jr. and all of the families.
May God comfort her children and grandchildren whom she loved dearly.
I was blessed to write to her and hear from her.
May Love surround all of you.
I am positive she was welcomed into our Father’s home and greeted by her loved ones.
Love to All.
Prayers for family. I wish I could make it to the services. Aunt Joyce was 2 years younger than her Brother Keith and a month older than my mother who were my parents. RIP Aunt Joyce. 🌹
Bill and Joyce, my two favorite people in the world, we shall meet soon.
