Joyce, my precious sister I already miss her so much. She is no longer in anymore pain and is completely healed. Joyce is walking on those streets of gold with Jesus, her husband Junior and daughter Kim as well as other family members who went on ahead of her. She loved all three of her daughters, Kim, Michelle and Amanda so much. Through much prayer and living our lives as Jesus would have us too-we will see her again one day.

 I miss and love you Joyce, my sister and my friend.

I have many fond memories of my sister in law. She was also my friend and prayer warrior. Looking forward to the day when we will be reunited never to be parted again. 

Worked with Joyce at Ft Smith Outerwear many years ago. Never forgot her, very sweet and caring!  Wilma Stem

While I was in the hospital with 2 broke shoulders and pneumonia Joyce called me and prayed with me when in truth she felt worse. Always faithful to God  her and Weldon's crowns I can only imagine...

You will be greatly missed by all

So many fond memories of this precious lady and her family. Growing up with this family was a blessing from God. All my growing up days was neighbor and cousin to Joyce. Her lovely voice in music will never be forgotten by any who have heard her sing. We will all miss her and her sweet spirit and lovely voice.
