Joyce was a best friend of mine. We lived in the same neighborhood from a young age. We were known as the three J's, Jackie, Jennise, and Joyce. We went our separate ways, but remained friends, after finishing school. It's been years since I seen my friend. It is with heavy heart to her of her loss it hurt me deeply. I hope and pray that the God of all comfort, keeps her family comforted during this time and days ahead. Oliver, your mother was a very sweet person and she loved her beautiful daughter. I pray that you hold the good memories of your mother close to your heart. I have hope in the resurrection that I'll see my friend again. It will be a time of joy. She want have to deal with her sickness ever again. For now, I'll hold her deep in my heart and memories while she sleep. To the Paulin family my deepest condolences and prayers be with you. Love Jacquelyn, I'm going to miss my Joyce.
Condolences to the Paulin family. Jackie McClendon Fleming
Our condolences and prayers to the family. May God continue to comfort you'll during this time of bereavement.
Joyce was a high school classmate and a neighborhood friend. She was always a friendly person. I lost contact with her after high school, but she would cross my mind often through the years. To her siblings, I offer my sincerest condolences. May you find comfort in remembering the good things about Joyce. To her daughter, may God strengthen and keep you. Your mom was one of my first and few friends. We often shared some good laughs during our time together at ABAC's Upward Bound. My prayers are with you all as you find a new normal without your sister and mom.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
