Your mother was so special!  I feel so privileged to have met her through Tim and Steve.  I enjoyed the Christmas in July celebration with her, which was a special memory!  I will always cherish the beautiful quilt she made for our grandson, Aleister, which will always stay in the family!  

This beautiful lady was my aunt by my marriage to her nephew James C. Clifton, Jr.  James and I have been married for 40 years, but the last several years I really got close to Aunt Joyce.  When I became sick and disabled many years ago, but the past 2 years were the most difficult.   With my husband's diagnosis I just felt so discouraged.   But Aunt Joyce would call me several times a week and I her.  She would greet me as I answered the phone, "Hi how y'all doing" each time.   And that greeting would just make me smile every time.   She would listen to my worries and my concerns.  And in her way she would talk to me about God's plan and remind me of certain scriptures.  And when I just wanted to give up, she would give me that "kick in the a**"  that I so needed.  And all I wanted to do was get in my car and drive to her house and hug her so much!!!!  I felt her love so warm and kind.  I will miss our talks, but I will never forget what she taught me and gave me.  I am grateful for her teaching me to never give up on myself and that God is always with me.   I love you Aunt Joyce, so rest in peace until my time to leave and we meet in heaven one day.

Joyce was, " My Mother from another Brother". Joyce is a Blessing to Me and My Family. She treated me like Family from the moment we met. I hope the Lord serves Godivas at his table, because she loves chocolate.
You will Be Missed
Now you get to be with her again Stevie
