Yolanda, as we spoke of Joyce it brought to mind many memories. Conversations over lunch, small talk and some very spiritual. Working together for a long time we really got to know each other. Two very important things were evident - she loved the Lord and her family. I pray that your beautiful memories will out shine the sadness. Joyce is truly free and in her real Home 🙏🏾 Praying God's grace and mercy is upon your family.
