I met Ms. Joyce at Soul Sisters. She was a quiet, kind and thoughtful lady with a deep love for the Lord. When Ms. Joyce spoke, it was well worth listening to. I learned of her many struggles and victories as well as her education career. Ms. Joyce's testimony was one of strength, prayer, and reliance on Jesus. She is rejoicing in heaven with her Savior.
