I am so thankful that God brought Joyce and I together. I have had so many GREAT times with Joyce. I will missed so much.
I am thinking of her family and friends.  
                                    Love , Lisa

Joyce/"Nana" Nichols was a true gem, and like a second mother to me. Her love for the Lord, poise, charm, humor, faithful support of her pastor husband, beautiful smile and lovely piano playing were all qualities that endeared her to our family. So thankful to have known this dear lady, and missing her. Praise God for the great reunion day coming in Heaven!
