My deepest sympathy to the Rish Family. I always thought of Mrs. Joyce with love and respect, she was a wonderful Christian lady. When I thought of my home church Seivern she was always a part of sweet memories.

Lynn, Ronnie, Milford, and family, We were saddened to hear of your loss. I just lost my dad and he was 95 years old, but the loss is still great . May the Lord fill the empty whole in your hearts with beautiful happy memories. She was truly used by God to do his will, and many were blessed by her. What a legacy.

Milford, Lynn, Todd and family.,
I spent many days playing in Buck and Joyce's house as their door was always open to all of us "Seivern" children.
Ms. Joyce was a true example of a Christian woman and that example left an impact on many people including myself. May God give you and each member of your family the strength and comfort as only He can during this time.

The picture you have posted here is a perfect reflection of the smile she wore like a crown of glory. Her smile will be embedded in my mind forever. I think she could have cooked rubber and rocks and it would have tasted like a little bit of heaven. She had a hug and an I love you every time you saw her.
Aunt Joyce, you should have been named "JOY" because that is what your life reflected. Rest in Peace.
