Accept my sincere condolences. May you find some comfort in the words of 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 which reads: '3Â Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4Â who comforts us in all our trials' Yes, we can ask for help and rely on God. He also has made the sure promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise. (Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:9-11, 29). Be confident that this is SURE to happen because Isaiah 55:11 ensures us if this. Find out more online at JW.ORG

Marilyn is asleep. John 11:11. God promises: 'Your [loved ones] will live. They will rise up...Shout joyfully...The earth will let those powerless in death come to life.

To Faye, Michael and the entire Upchurch and Goldston Family Precious memories, how they linger, How they ever flood my soul; In the stillness of the midnight, Sacred memories He'll unfold. During my tenure as Minister of Music at Ebenezer, one of the families that accepted me as one of their own was the Upchurch Family. Nonnie affectionately referred to me as her son, so therefore, I had Uncle Irvin, Aunt Celie, Uncle William and the list goes on. Family gatherings included me, and I had the honor of knowing such a beautiful and inspiring spirit in Joyce. We shared in many services together at Mount Calvary, Ebenezer and everywhere else. I pray God's comfort upon the family and you are in my thoughts.

- Augustus Charles Cofield, Jr.

So Sorry for your Loss

- Carolyn Cotton

My thoughts are with you and the family and how death robs us of our loved ones. Jehovah God has promised to remove death, sickness, and pain from the earth and reunite us with our loved one on a cleansed earth in the future. (Revelation 21:4; John 5:28,29; John 17:3; Psalms 83:18) Â In the meantime you can be sure that God understands how you feel now! The Bible assures us: 'He is healing the brokenhearted ones, And is binding up there painful spots.' Psalms 147:3

- D. Peete

I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15)and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Revelation 21:3,4;John 5:28,29;Luke 23:43. may GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.

- M Jones

- Deacon John & Elder Gwen McClain

We extend our warmest & heartfelt sympathy & prayers to the Goldston Family, Pastor Nina Jones and the TrueWay Church Family during this very difficult period. Mama Joyce was a Woman of God- anointed, consecrated & uniquely used for the saving of many lives. She was a Woman of impeccable style & grace & always made you feel important. I'm so grateful to have known & witnessed her and am all better the more. I will never forget her praise, her dance, her prophetic & playing for the revivals and how the Lord would use her in assisting my former Pastor, Bishop Peterkin in the Prayer lines. She knew I was a follower of her ministry, gleaning, watching & learning from her auspicious & perfect example! I'm so glad I pressed my way to see & hear her when she came to preach at Bright Hope this last March. She took the time to acknowledge me- I was sitting all the way in the back because I came dressed in sweatpants & tee shirt because I didn't have time to go home & change- because she remembered I told her the previous time she was there during Pastor Nina Weldon's revival that I would be there.That's just the thoughtful & loving Lady she was. It didn't even matter, she was just glad to see me! Thank you Deacon Marvin & family for sharing such an awesome gift with her many children & mentees & even the world. Prophetess will NEVER be forgotten!

- Prophet Ernest & Lady Twanda
