Thinking of you all during this time, but we know that your mother is happy reunited with her loved ones in heaven.  Your mother was a very special lady and had a quiet and sweet spirit.  I always enjoyed her brief visits when we lived on Lombard Street.  I am sure you will miss her but we know that you have many happy memories of her as your mom. God bless you all. 

Dear Nancy and John,
I'm your cousin Edward who used to live in Raleigh.  Your mother was very faithful to my mother, Saxe, during her thirty-year illness, visiting often, sometimes taking Mom out for lunch or shopping, even cleaning house.  I remember your family hosting ours for meals in that dining room on the front side (I think) of your house on Lombard Street.   Joyce was Mom's favorite cousin and one she admired and looked up to.  Please accept my deepest condolences.  If you read this in time for the graveside and there is room for me to come, please email me at edb@memorialbcnc.org and I will attend.  I pray God's grace and peace upon you during this time of loss and hope.
Edward Beddingfield 

I have known Joyce since I was a young girl and babysat Emmett and Nancy who was a baby at the time. I would see her through the years and and she never forgot me.  She was a genuine loving person.  She would always remind me of the time she and Swade came home from an evening out and I calmly told them that the bathroom ceiling had fallen in  ( There were no cell phones back then for me to warn them).
.My thoughts and prayers are with the family and may the memories of a great woman comfort you.

John, Nancy and family, my prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. I have known Joyce since I was a little girl and it was my extreme pleasure to assist in her care over the last few years.  I pray that God grants you strength and comfort, for He makes no mistakes. May you find peace in knowing that she is at rest in God's eternal grace. My continued thoughts and prayers are with each of you...

Many Blessings and With Love, 

Emma  Moore and Family
