So sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful lady. Debra
I knew Joyce years ago as we worked at ETSU. She always had a way of brightening my day and that of others. Sweet, kind, generous able and effective. A splendid lady in all ways and respects. Although it has been quite some time since I saw her, I think of her often and remember her well. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family and all whose lives will be less bright and happy without her. May the Lord give peace, comfort and blessings to all. With respect and heartfelt condolences, Doug,

Sorry to hear about your Moms passing. We lost Mom this year also. It's tough to get through but you will. I think about mine often but knowing she is in a better place now gives me comfort. We will always miss our Moms but if your Mom was anything like mine she wouldn't want us to grieve but try and live life to the fullest and help a few people along the way. Our heart felt condolences go out to each one of the family members. May God bless you all during this time and always, Wassan and Vickie Broyles
