We are thinking of you all at this time of sorrow. Will miss seeing Joyce at the reunion this summer.
She has now been given her angel wings and will soar for all eternity in the heavens!
Joyce was the friendliest person at Owens Nursery when I worked there. She always had a smile on her face. So sorry for your loss.
RIP Joyce 🙏 Loved our years as young cousins playing at Grandma Alexander’s with all our other cousins 💕 God Bless You 🙏
God’s speed to you your family Christy. You are in our thoughts and prayers. <
