Dear friends, So sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. She made me feel welcome in her home when I was a college student, and she and her husband Paul opened my eyes to the possibilities of a life lived fully for Jesus. I was lucky to call them friends throughout the rest of their lives. Their love of Jesus was foremost, and their open hearts will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Joyce’s passing. She was a very special lady. Loved by so many. Joyce and Paul always welcomed Larry and I to their Fellowship Meetings. We grew very close to the group. My son, Lamar had a very deep respect for Paul. I am so sorry for your loss. I would have been there, if I would have known. God Bless!!
