I lost a dear friend yesterday. Joyce Davis was one of my lifelines for almost 20 years. Her cards and uplifting words helped sustain me during tough times. Each card would hold a balloon for Brooke, which brought a smile to the face of a sick little girl. I will forever be grateful to Joyce and her outreach and I will definitely miss her cards.
People like Joyce are rare; they are silent angels who prefer doing for others without recognition. Her ministry was done in so many ways; whether by slipping in and cleaning the kitchen at church, helping with Vacation Bible School, taking food to the sick, mending clothes for the Hope Center, or by her cards. I am thankful I had the opportunity to tell Joyce just how much her outreach meant to me. I told her that what she did made a difference. She reached out to others and touched their lives in so many ways and the world will be a sadder place without her. Our loss is Heaven's gain. Our prayers continue to go out to the family. May they find comfort in their pain and healing with time.
Thank you my dear friend for being a Christian example for all of us younger women to follow. Rest in Peace.
