I am so glad that I got to reconnect with my beautiful Aunt Joyce, after all these years! I just wish that I was physically able to travel to come and visit her, like she kept asking me to! She lived a wonderful and beautiful life! She was a lot of times the reason I have always kept my faith in Our LORD! I remember being a lil girl, and her and everyone teaching me things, as a Northern girl from Indiana! I will always remember her kindness and compassion and her love of family!!
