Praying for this family and the family of First Power House COGIC. She was truly a blessing not only in my life, but my family as well. The name they gave her was \"FAMILY MEMBER.\" She was indeed a friend like no other so I don\'t say goodbye I just say like we always say \"talk to you later chick.\" RIP ROAD DAWG! Love ya always Keisha Tate!

Joyce, we are all aware that we\'re going to leave this earth, but that doesn\'t make the pain of losing you, so unexpectedly, any less painful. I offer my sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to your children, grandchildren, and siblings who will miss you most of all. As your cousin, I didn\'t see you very often. However, family may be out of sight, but we are never out of mind. Jo Ann Jones
