I lived about 4 houses from Joyce and Her Sisters and Brothers on Cleburne Street in Brownwood. She attended North Ward School in the first years of Her Schooling.
I remember Her very well as a Beautiful Girl that was always smiling and I never heard her say a bad word or get mad at anyone. She had a gentle heart for everyone. I knew Her brother Elvis more then I did Her and the rest of the family but I remember all of them. Joyce had a Mother and Father that also had a kind and gentle Heart. They were a great Family and everyone loved them all. I know that Joyce will always be loved and missed by everyone who knew Her.
Thanks Joyce for being among my friends that has made my life better by having you as a friend. you were a great treasure to have known. and I will never forget.
May all your Family find peace in knowing that you are in a better place today.
