Lee, Susan, Sheila and Tommy,
If you recall, I worked with Joyce at Leggett in the Personnel office for several years. She was indeed a rare and special lady. I recall very fond memories of us two traveling on company business and how dedicated she was to doing her daily morning sit-ups and how she could eat anything she wanted and not gain weight. I think one of the fondest memories was when, on one of our business trips, she rolled my hair for me on those large, pink plastic rollers us gals used back in the late 70's.
God bless you all and I pray that you will find comfort through Christ as only He can provide.

So sorry to hear this news. I worked with Mr. Wall several
years at Advance Auto Parts and attended several functions with
Joyce. She was so beautiful, so much grace and love. This really
hurts but she set a great example for people communications.
She was just like family. You are in our prayers.

Dear Susan, You and your family continue to receive my prayers. I viewed all 97 pictures, enjoying each one. No wonder you have such panache and presence. Looks like you are indeed your mother's daughter! As Toni Sherwood told me when my Mama left for Glory, "be gentle with yourself". May the flood of tears, memories and laughter sustain and lift you.
Love, Harris
