    Carol and I were shocked and saddened when we heard of Joyce’s death She was an amazing lady full of grace and joy, you couldn’t be in her presence long before a smile was created. Dave you and Joyce were a wonderful team and ambassadors for Christ. May the source of hope, joy and purpose that Christ gives be your reality. And Karen and Kathy we are so sorry for your great loss. Please be assured of our prayers in these days. Our lives are richer because of knowing Joyce. God bless you all.

    Joyce was an amazing woman. Although we knew her for far too brief a time she made us feel like forever friends. Pastor Dave and Joyce have been shining examples of loving your spouse like Christ loved the church to us. Roger and I along with our children were blessed beyond measure to have been touched by Joyce on this side of heaven and we hold to the promise we will meet again on the other side. We are praying for your whole family.

    Nadine and I were saddened to hear of Joyce’s passing. Our lives and ministry were deeply enriched by her encouragement and kindness. To have her as a first lady on our District was a blessing that we deeply cherish. Our love and prayers, and those of the Sherwood congregation go to you David, along with all your family.

    To our friend Joyce’s loved ones. Always remember the good times and the laughter. Please know that so many are praying for you and may our heavenly Father give you peace through this difficult time. Joyce was my shopping partner here in Owego. I will miss her and her stories tremendously along with our long chats. May God Bless you.

    With the passing of Joyce may we let this be a reminder to always live life to the fullest as we do not know the day or time God will call us home. As others, I was shocked and sad to hear that Joyce had passed. David, Karen, Kathy & families: my heart is heavy as I join in your sorry. However, as time goes on and life continues may God give you the strength, peace and comfort to help each of you adjust to life without the physical presence of this special lady. I am smiling as the tears flow while I am envisioning Joyce embracing Lydia! Sharon (Ewings) Rust

    Neal and I send you our heartfelt condolences at this time of loss. Joyce was a shining star and I will always treasure the memory of knowing her.

    Dave, it came as a complete shock to Kimberley and I. All those visits to your Moncton parsonage. Kimberley said she learned how to regift from Joyce. We learned how amazing a DS couple could be. We are so thankful to God for your ministry and the many hours of laughter, love and joy that we shared as the body of Christ. May our Lord continue to uphold you in the days ahead until that day when we all see Joyce and hear her laugh again. Love and Prayers, Brian, Kimberley, Jeshuah and Judeah Gilroy

    Our family was so saddened to hear of Joyce’s passing. We are vacationing as a family in Cape Cod and shared all the wonderful memories we had of Joyce. Brittany reminded us that she was her small group leader for a while at Calvary and how much she appreciated her support. Joyce was always full of life and will be missed terribly. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the whole family. We are sorry we will be unable to attend her service. The Belt family.
