Lillie Hampton wrote a sympathy message

“Joyce Ann was my first cousin and we grew up next door to each other. She called me just a couple of days before her death. We gave each other support and I told her that I would pray for her, and I did. She had been a lifeline for me during this very hard season of my life. I was shocked to hear of her death. I will always be thankful that the Lord put her into my life. I will remember the kindness she sowed into my life when I needed it most. She was a giver and took time for me.”
