Dear Edwards family and our friends LaVar and Jeanna, we are so heartbroken to hear of your loss. Miss Joyce was a precious woman and she and I (Allyson) always would laugh and smile because we shared the same birthday. I know this will be the best birthday party she has ever had because she is in glory celebrating with the Father. We pray the Holy Spirit comfort you at this time. If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to ask. Love and deepest condolences, The Watson's

Another great soldier gone home to be with the Lord, you will be greatly miss, we love you very much, and words cannot describe the love you share and witness to our family, but God knows best and saw that it was your time to be with him, and by and by we will understand it one day.

My deepest condolences to the family. Words can not express the pain I felt when Tonya called me. I was so excited when I saw Ms. JoyceÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢s number on the caller id and I quickly answered expecting to hear her lovely voice. To my dismay I received the shocking news. It took a moment for it to register because I just did not want to believe what I was hearing. I was so blessed to have known her.She sent me a calendar that read, Ã?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã?â??Just think youÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢re here not by chance, but by GodÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢s choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else-you are one of a kind. You lack nothing that his grace canÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢t give you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.Ã?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã?Â You see thatÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢s the type of person she was, always thinking of others. She was thoughtful and caring.I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to have befriended such an inspiring woman of God. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. I will continue to embrace the times we shared discussing the Lord, life and laughing on the phone. Our conversations would always brighten my day. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to have known her. She was truly an angel and I will always remember her. This is not a farewell, but see you later Ms. Joyce. I will love you always, Nikki

Praying God peace love and hope to the family and friends. Although we morn in a time like this we are hopeful to see her again as she has obtained her great reward dacing face to face with our King!!! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue you on with great teachings, life lessons, and memories of such an amazing woman.

Joyce Edwards was a tremendous woman of God. I have so many wonderful memories of Ms. Joyce, as I called her, and the way she always handled herself. She was a great blessing to The Rock Church.

Sis, words cant describe how much you have changed my life. Your impact is felt all over. I am seriously missing you already and I know you have received a hearty "Well done" from God and a "Howdy" from Daddy and Nay. My heart rejoices for your spiritual victory but my natural man longs for you here…. we know the Spirit trumps this call so sis take your rest and know that we love you so much.

Dear Sister, I am going to miss you! I have thanked God for the time that he has allowed us together as well as thanking him for granting me the serenity to accept the things that I can not change(you no longer being here). At first I was a bit confused and as to why you were taken from me then I had to remember that you were God's all along and that he was generous enough to lend you to me for a season.Thank you sister for accepting me and loving me inspite of…you are definately one of Gods soldiers. Rest In Heaven My Beautiful Sister!Your flesh is gone but your beautiful spirit will never be forgotten!Love your sis Latria

Mom, words canÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢t express how thankful I am that God allowed me to be your son. How I came to be so fortunate, I will never know! What I do know is that you taught us to trust in the Lord regardless of the circumstances. Isaiah 41:10, 13 says Ã?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã?â??Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.Ã?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã?Â So, I am standing on thisÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã?Â¦He will help us all to be comforted in this time. I wonÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢t pretend to understand why He has taken you home, but I will trust that he is giving you the rest you so richly deserve.I want so badly to hug you once more, tell you how much I Love you, and hear you call me your BB while reassuring me that everything is going to be alright. I know that God will provide all that I need, but that doesnÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢t prevent me from wanting my mother. Please mom, let me know that you are always near me. While I know that I should live a life that is pleasing to God, I also want to live a life that makes you proud and honors you. In that loving way that only you can do, help me to understand when I am off course and gently guide me back to the right path.I know that you are in a much better place now and for that I canÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢t help but praise Him. The life you lived honored God in every way and demonstrated to each person you came in contact with the love that Father God has for each of us. I will take every lesson that you have taught me and cherish them forever. I will continue striving to let my light shine as you have taught me. I pray that God will use me for His Glory and allow me to bless even a portion of the folks that you have blessed. I miss you soooo much mom, and I canÃ?Â¢Ã¢â??Â¬Ã¢â??Â¢t wait to see you in heaven. I Love You Mom!
