Family, I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of your precious mother and sister. I had the pleasure of meeting Mary Joyce on February 26, 1967, when Ronnie and my daughter, Nelsonya blessed us with their entrance into the world, on the same day just hours apart. We were placed in the same room together. We kept in touch after leaving the hospital. Mary Joyce was truly a very sweet person and my heart goes out to each member of her family. Walk with god and he will lead you every step of the way through the dark days ahead. Ruby Wilhite-Graves
