I'm so sorry for for your loss. I will never forget the first time I met Joyce. I was 8yyrs old I had known the rest of the family a few years..Joyce had been in California. Pam and I were sitting on Mrs . Samples floor playing..Joyce walked thru the front door .I thought she was the beautiful s woman I had ever seen. Got to know her and she was just as beautiful inside. Johnny lived across the street. He had never met Joyce either. He came over for something .He saw Joyce he froze .She turned and saw him.She froze. I told Pam look love at first sight. They were together from then own. Souls mates is rare but it happens .I know we hadn't seen each other in a few years .But I've always love you both.The load shared Joyce and her beautiful heart,with us .Now he's called her home. Heaven gained a wonderful angel. Again I'm truly sorry for your loss.
