To Aunt Teenie and my cousins I pray that you can truly find comfort in knowing that our beloved Joyce Ann is in the presence of the Lord. Joyce Ann has made it over, her struggles, pain, and cares of this world are over. She is at peace and eternal rest. Joyce Ann's beautiful spirit will always be with us - we'll miss her sense of humor and her unique style. I'll miss, as I so admired in her a determination and commitment to live life on her own terms. Her time with us is done, complete, so God who knows best, called her home. I hear that she was prepared and ready - Rest now cousin, Rest in Peace.
