I have known Joyce and her late husband Neville, for approximately three decades. We worked with the same company for many years.
Joyce and Neville were both blessed with kind and affable personalities, underpinned with a huge endowment of patience.
For a number of years, Joyce and I worked in the same office, and I was aware of the challenge that had entered her life. Nonetheless, Joyce worked without complaint or murmur day after day, with steadfastness and quiet resolve, never allowing her challenge to disrupt her presence or her focus.
In her unassuming manner, Joyce stood tall as a woman committed to her family, her other responsibilities, and to her faith.
As she journeyed along with her life, Joyce was indeed an excellent example of a person imbued with faith, patience, and love.
My wife and I herewith convey sincere condolences to the immediate family, as well as other relatives and friends.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Joyce Anita Cossey
