I had the pleasure of working with Joyce at CCA. She loved life, her family, and Elvis. I saw her this summer and she was so happy to have been able to go to Graceland one last time. I was amazed by how upbeat and happy she was. I will miss you my friend. RIP

May Joyce's family find peace and solace knowing that she is now free of all pain as she now walks those golden streets of Heaven, comforted in the sheltering arms of Jesus and God, amongst angels. As long as you remember her, she lives in your hearts.
