To the family of Mrs. Joyce Friday. I have had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Joyce for quite some time and I had the honor and privilege to care for her when she attended the Gastonia Adult Day Care. She was such a wonderful woman of God and she always had a beautiful spirit and a smile on her face. I always thought very highly of her. Today, I send my deepest condolences to her children and family. May God wrap you in his arms and give you peace that surpasses all understanding during your time of bereavement. You are in my thoughts and prayers always.

"Do no stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do no sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. ". -poem by Mary Elizabeth.

My heartfelt condolences, Love and prayers to the family of Sis. Friday(Mother Friday). I will forever be grateful for the Wisdom and Spiritual guidance she poured into me at Full Gospel Church. The times she drove the church van to pick us teens(at the time)up for choir rehearsal. Mother Friday always opened her home to us teens (at the time) after church service on Sundays and yes! We had to go back to church that Sunday night (if there was an afternoon service prior to night service, we were there also). Most importantly I will remember Mother Friday for her undeniable Love and dedication to/for Christ and her family. She never compromised her Faith, she was a Bold servant of Christ. I sincerely appreciate all the time, prayers, support, Love and encouragement Mother Friday invested in me. I'm Blessed to have been able to have had her as one of my Spiritual Mothers. I now understand it all, her prayers for me wasn't in vain. I'll forever cherish the memories. May God comfort you all.
