Who can find a virtuous woman ? For her price is far above Rubies. Proverbs 31:10 Her light shown so bright here on earth, I can only imagine what it must be like in heaven. To say that she was loving and giving and full of joy and laughter is not enough. She is a light that will shine always to those of us who knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. She will surely be missed until we can see her again with our love

My thoughts and prayers are with you the LeCoq family as y'all prepare to say your temporary goodbyes to this wonderful woman of God. I'm so glad He saw fit to have our paths cross in this life. She was so loved and will be greatly missed. I know y'all will cherish every sweet memory of her all the days of your life. She has surly received her crown in glory, and looked upon the face of her Heavenly Father and into the beautiful blue eyes of Mr. Leroy. Until we see each other again Mrs. Joyce.

Mrs Joyce was the light that we as Christians should be. Always a kind word, beautiful smile and sweet sweet laugh. She was the kind of woman that I will strive hard to follow. Her family was truly blessed both with her and Mr Leroy. I had the pleasure of living across the road from them for a time. Mr Leroy in his overalls is one of my best memories... oh and talk about smile! Mr Leroy had an awesome one as well! I am glad they are together. They have done well as good and faithful servants of Christ. Rest well Mrs Joyce, till I see you in Heaven!
Love,
