There aren't words that can help the pain you are feeling. Your mother was a wonderful person, and even in the short time I got to know her, it was clear how special and loved she was. Know she is in a better place now where she can watch over all of her loved ones. I know she will always be in your hearts. Our prayers are with the whole family in this time of need. It is clear from the support and love people have shown that you have family all over the world. | From: Jeffery and Pearl Fyderek 08/24/2009 07:43 PM

To the whole family,
I remember being being at your house all the time and all the fun we had. Joyce was like the best mom in the world to me back then. I remember she was hardly ever without a smile on her face. She was never mad. She was so sweet and understanding. I will miss her a lot even though I havent seen her in years. You all can make it through this as a family. I love you all so very much! | From: Heather and Emily 08/24/2009 05:34 PM

Rhonda & Family-
Words can't express my sympathies for you guys. I know it has and will be a long and hard road. Joyce was an amazing person and will always live on in each one of our hearts. You just have to remember to take care of each other and always be there for one another. Always know, its not goodbye, its see you later. I love you more than you know. Our prayers are with you always. | From: Aleah & Luke Levinson 08/24/2009 03:41 PM

Ironically when I heard the news about Joyce I was at Kerr Lake camping. I had spent the week remembering all the fun times I had growing up with the Norman family at the lake. Our two families went just about every weekend!
I grew up just a few houses down the road from Joyce and I remember playing out in the yard together - basketball, tag, cards, playing music and pretending to be married to Davy Jones. Those were the days! I will always treasure these special memories.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Joyce will certainly be missed.

Rhonda, Geoff and family: Although I never met your Mother, Rhonda, I can tell from how much love is expressed in these condolences that she was a wonderful, loving person and a great Mother. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your mother will always be with you in your heart, and in your memories and she will be watching over you and you won't be alone. Cherish her memories and all the love she gave to you. Again, I'm so very sorry. Lynn Egger | From: Lynn Egger 08/21/2009 11:11 PM

Joyce- I met you at 20 and from there on you were like a mother to me. Always giving advice especially the stuff I did not want to hear, but you were always right as a mother usually is. I will miss your humor and laughter, and definetly when we use to turn on the line dance music at Fisher when no one was watching and break it down...meanwhile "trying not to break anything"! My only regret is that I never got to get that last goodbye. You will be missed and loved forever in my heart. Thank you for everything you did for me. You are truly a wonderful woman and a beautiful soul. Missing you dearly, and love always... | From: April Johnson 08/20/2009 08:29 PM

Bob, April and Rhonda, I will miss your Mom's phone calls telling me how happy she was. Nothing ever dragged her down. I knew your Mom for 30 years and never saw her mad. I remember picking her up everyday to go to work but she never complained about anything. And then it was the phone call she had found Bob she was so happy.
I will miss her. My prayer with each of you. | From: Cathy Mclean 08/20/2009 02:19 PM

Bob, We have had the honor of calling you and Joyce friends for many years. Since the volunteer weekend so many years ago. To know Joyce was to know her sense of humor, her desire to help, willingness to share, love of fun and love of family and friends. She touched all of us at the lake and it was better for her being there. She will truly be missed by many. There are no magic words we can say to make it all better. But please know that we, your extended family, are there to lend support and cherish the good times had. We wish you and your family well. My Gods peace and love guide you all. | From: Billy & Sue Mitchell 08/19/2009 09:41 PM

Bob, we wish to express our deepest sympathy. I am your mother's Garden Club friend who lives near her. Joyce was a very pleasant person. I went to your wedding which was a joyous occasion. It is hard to realize that she is already gone after such a short time. Life is like a vapor.
I pray God will give you the peace and comfort you need in this time of sorrow. - Annie Ruth and Garland Perry

My heart is sad to hear that our sweet Joyce is no lnger with us on earth. But we have the promise of seeing her again in Heaven. I know she is doiing fine there. She was a great co-worker at Fisher-Rex. I'm sure that Heaven is enjoying all her smiles and laughter.
My prayers are with you and all your family. | From: Kim Oakley Reeves 08/19/2009 12:57 PM

As my thoughts of Joyce and her family have been constant on my mind this week, I think most about her unique facial expressions, and I hear her wonderful laugh. May God's comfort be with her family and many friends. Goodbye my friend, I will never forget you!-Paula Schaefer and family. | From: Paula Schaefer 08/19/2009 11:31 AM

I did'nt know that when I hugged Mrs. Joyce that Friday evening and told her to have a good weekend that it would be my last hug. She was truly a wonderful woman to work with. She always thought about others, sometimes before she thought about herself. She loved her family tremendously. I will miss her jokes, her blueberry crunch and her smile. I love you Joyce. | From: Edrissa Purcell 08/19/2009 08:51 AM

To the family, my heart felt sympathies go out to you all. I pray that God will guide you through this difficult time and comfort you in knowing that she is with him. Focus on the good times and remember how she would want you to live...happy and full of life. I have been out of the loop for a long time now, but through growing up and going to school with Rhonda, she was always a pleasure to be around. Phyllis - mom (Nancy Scott) is at Guardian Care in Zebulon, but sends her love and prayers to you. | From: Tara Scott Johnson 08/19/2009 07:48 AM

Bob, we were shocked and saddened to learn of Joyce's death. I regret that we never had a chance to meet her, because she sounds like a truly beautiful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. | From: Ted & JoAnn Warn 08/19/2009 07:27 AM

I am so glad that Joyce made the decision to move back home to NC several years ago. I had already been welcomed into the Norman family but then I gained another "sister" and two wonderful nieces and then of course Bob came along and none of us will ever be the same after that!!! I think more than anything I will always remember Joyce's hearty laugh and fun loving spirit. The Christmas parades will not be the same without her. I love you all! | From: Lori Denning 08/19/2009 03:27 AM

I am sorry so for your loss. Joyce was a beautiful woman and a wonderful mother. I spoke with her just a few short weeks ago about Rhonda's trip home - she was so excited about seeing her daughter! I will always carry with me the memory of teaching her the 'Booty Call' on Saturday night - she was anxious to learn and learn she did! :) It is unbelievable how short life truly is. Joyce, you will be greatly missed.

We hope that peace will come to your family in this time of sorrow. I could always count on Joyce to let me know when Bob did something stupid for I could raz him a little.
We will remember Joyce for who she was and will
always be, a Loving wife and mother, a honest and true friend to anyone that she would meet and
a special part of our outdoor world family. | From: Kevin and Millie Turner 08/18/2009 04:48 PM

We feel and share your sadness and are here to help you and your family through these times in any way we can. One cannot express the loss of one’s mother or wife to others but hopes all will understand your sadness and pain. Remember she is not really gone until she is forgotten and we are sure she never will be! | From: Gary & Sandy Turner 08/18/2009 04:40 PM

It's funny how God puts people into your life and the impact that they make. Terry & I are sure glad that He chose to put Joyce and her family in ours. Joyce was known by all as the woman with the blueberry crunch (that I tried to hide when it was around) but more than that she was a friend that was always there with a helping hand, kind word and a smile. Our lives have been made richer for having Joyce, Bob and Rhonda in them. With love, we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Cindy,Jessica, & Terry Shelton. Bob just know nothing we can say can take the hurt away but also know that we cherish your friendship and will be there if you need us . | From: Cindy & Terry Shelton 08/18/2009 04:35 PM

We are so deeply saddened and troubled by the loss of someone so genuinely kind. Joyce never had a negative thing to say about anyone, and walked through this world with a smile on her face and exhibited such a positive, cheerful attitude. No matter what the event, Joyce always made things better and brighter with her presence. Joyce, you will be forever missed! We love you, and God bless your family! | From: Cornell and Leigh 08/18/2009 04:21 PM

I am so sorry for your loss. Joyce was a wonderful person who will be truely missed by everyone that knew her. She was such a lively and wonderful person and we are so blessed to have known her. We became closer this year at the beginning of the camping season. We fussed about all the raking we did, but we had fun getting to know each other better. That was a great time. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. This is tough time for you all, but always remember all the great times that you shared. Keep the memories strong in your heart and Joyce will live forever there. | From: Suzie and Marty Wood 08/18/2009 02:17 PM

To go out dancing, what happier way to end the day! To her beautiful daughter, seeing the loving interaction between the two of you on the dance floor, your mother's love will stay with you your whole life. May you find peace quickly, but know that the only thing that heals is time, and time takes... however long it takes. Lake Gaston - Outdoor World will remember her dancing spirit. | From: Coleen Miller 08/18/2009 01:35 PM

Not only is she in a place that looks a lot like the lake, she is also dancing, doing the Electric Slide!!! The dance at Outdoor World will never be the same, nor will the campground. You could count on her to have a cup of coffee ready every Saturday morning at the campground. Nobody went without anything, if Joyce had it in her camper, it was yours! Bob would always take care of the grill and Joyce was on the blueberry crunch! | From: Kim and Harry 08/18/2009 01:35 PM

As long as I can remember, Joyce is in my Lake Gaston memory. I cannot believe that just a week ago she was routinely sharing with me the happenings in my friend Ronda's life. She was one of the nicest people I have ever met and always had a smile on her face. There is no doubt in my mind where Joyce is now, and I bet it looks a lot like the lake! | From: Amanda Sawyer 08/18/2009 01:06 PM

Joyce always came by to see me. Rhonda and Bob, I love you both and will miss Joyce. I could always count on a Christmas card. Joyce was one of the nicest people I have ever had the privelege to know. My prayers are with you and your family.
