  Although Auntie Joyce didn't have her own biological kids, she was like a second mother sprinkling her love on all her nieces and nephews. She poured so much knowledge and wisdom in our lives and gave advice like a sister. She leaned an ear providing a safe place to be heard and promising to keep some of our secrets like a true friend. She was the fun Auntie that was cool, a ball of fun filled with joy, laughter that filled the room and most all, she absolutely loved her family which she reminded us of that every chance she got. She always showed up for us whether it was in person when she lived in California, but once she moved to Mississippi, she then made herself available over the phone whenever we needed her. Hearing her voice brought so much comfort that could never be replaced. Although she was battling her own medical issues, whenever we called, she forgot about her issues and consoled us until we were good. She was the type of woman that made an impact on our lives even till this day. Auntie Joyce, it's never goodbye but we'll all see you later. Rest in Paradise my love. -Love always, Nina & Tanner

  My Dearest Auntie Joyce, You mean so much to me. You're the only person to ever call me by my middle name (Mone) From a little girl excited to visit your house, to play with your dogs, a trip to the movies, Halloween chili and Christmas morning visits. Your infectious laugh, smile, your ability to light up each and every room. I love r&b music because of you, listening to the sounds of Maxwell, Toni Braxton, and D'angelo riding in the car with you. I have so many core memories with you I can't name them all. You helped mold and shape me into the woman I grew up to be. You were always there when I needed you giving me the best advice and guidance and I thank you. I am blessed to have had you in my life and the life of my husband and our daughters. Although I know you are present with the Lord, to the depth of my soul I will miss you. The love you showed everyone will be missed, it was always like a party when we all got together. The legacy you leave behind will be with us always. I know you are in Heaven doing your dance with a big smile on your face. I love you, until I see you again. Love Forever and Always Mone - Bridgett, Joseph, Jordan, Breana, Brooklyn

  To my Dear Godmother/Aunt Joyce, I remember the days when you lived around the corner from us. My sister and I would ride our bikes to your and Uncle Vic's house every day. You would greet us with smiles, hugs, candy, and ice cream, and we would spend time chatting with you. You were always so kind and joyful, and you didn't play when it came to your family. I'm so glad that my mother chose you to be my Godmother. I love you so much. Even though my heart aches that I can't see you in physical form, my spirit is at ease that you're no longer in pain. Forever your Goddaughter Tierra 💗

  Auntie Joyce was a constant source of love and strength. No matter the distance, she was always available, reminding us that family was at the center of her life. She cherished being surrounded by loved ones and created spaces where everyone felt welcome. She had a gift for truth. She spoke it with honesty and love, letting you know she truly understood what you were going through. Her wisdom came not only from her words, but also from the stories she shared about her own life—stories filled with both challenges and joy that showed us the importance of resilience and faith. She gave us treasured memories, especially the slumber parties she inspired, where laughter and togetherness became traditions that shaped our childhood. Her legacy is one of love, honesty, and family. Auntie Joyce will be deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in every gathering, every story, and every bond she helped create. With love Tiffany and family
