Dearest Aunt Joyce, how do I find the words to say goodbye. One of my earliest memories, was being a little girl, and telling you that when I grew up, I wanted to be just like you. As a teen, when you found out I had a passion for design, you encouraged it and even gifted me a desk with a built-in sewing machine. But that’s just the type of person you were. You were always so encouraging. Over the years we’ve had little talks here and there. You always let me know that whatever I was going through, I had the strength to conquer it. You’ve touched so many lives in such a positive way. Your energy, your smile, your presence. I know that they say, “everything happens for a reason.” But I feel like your time here was cut short. You had so many more lives left to touch. Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for all your hugs. Thank you for being there over the years. It’s never easy losing a parent, especially at a young age. Thank you for checking in on me and my siblings. No matter what you had going on, you always managed to pause and connect. I will miss our girl talks. You had a seriousness about you that people knew not to play with. But you also had a goofy side. You commanded every room you walked in and it was filled with joy and laughter. You moved with strength and positivity. I wish I got to hear your voice one last time, but the timing was never right. I love you Aunt Joycey, forever and always. (My deepest condolences and sympathy to Unc Frankie, Tony, Ang, Alex, Lil Frankie, and the grands. I love you guys.)

Aunt Joyce,

I don’t have a ton of memories with you, but I remember the last time I saw you was at grandmoms funeral and you hugged me. I remember you sent me sundresses when I was 14-15 and to this day, I have kept them because they are so beautiful and I believe that one day, I’ll fit into them again lol. I remember getting this box of things that used to be Angie’s when she was a child for my hair, and my mom using them for me. I wish I had more memories with you, aside from being excited to see you. Your passing was so sudden, I didn’t think that I would cry the way that I have been, but I know you’re somewhere where grandmom and the rest of our angels are. I’m proud that you raised beautiful children to give you such a beautiful service and the strength to speak about how amazing you were and will always be. Rest in Heaven, we will deeply miss you. ❤️

With great sadness I send my condolences.  I am so sorry for your loss.  I am praying for everyone to have much comfort and peace.  I remember Joyce a lot from Overbrook High School.  She had such a beautiful smile and laughter.  God bless everyone.

 My heartfelt condolences to the family of Joyce Butler-Washington. You will surely be missed. Your bubbly personality was unstoppable. I'm sending my love to Mary L. Butler and her immediate family at this time with comfort and prayers. May our Lord continue to Bless you all.

Sincerely,

Leslie E. Hicks-Gorham

This is so unfair and so unreal. I pray my dear aunt is at peace. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Aunt Joyce always believed in me and encouraged me my whole life. I will miss her bold personality, her humor, her style, and her many life lessons. Love you Auntie. 

Cousin Joyce; my prayer is that the same bright vibrant smile you had here on earth is upon your face, now and forever. I pray that our family will have the love and peace we need during this time. May a special peace of comfort and love be with Franklin and my cousins ?❤️
