My heart goes out to you, the family and love ones of such a wonderful person. Joyce was the perfect example of a wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She could not have fulfilled life any more than she did. We have experienced a great loss, but heaven has gained an angel that is well deserving of her wings and seat in heaven. RIH Joyce.

To the family; I've know Joyce for more than 25 years and I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I pray that, happy memories and shared friendship will carry you through this sad time. Wishing you (Mr. George)and the entire family strength and peace as you all heal. God gave us shoulders for a reason. Lean on each other.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Walker Family and those whose lives were enhanced with SWEETS BY J.
I have not heard from Mrs. Walker since the 2016 flood. Many of us were displaced if only for a little while. I've often thought of her as plans were in the making for family reunions, etc.
I'm left to say thank God for her presence in my life. The sweets she provided certainly made my day.
With deepest sympathy,

We will miss smile, you hugs and the sweets treats you made. We will miss you most of all because you can never be replace. To Charles and family just keep your hands in "Gods" hands and he will take care of the rest. My family will keep your family in our prayers.
