Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends. The God of tender mercies and comfort knows the pain and grief we experience when losing a loved one. He promise mankind through the scriptures according to Rev 214 to eliminate sickness and death forever. JW.Org is an educational website which provides comfort for those who are grieving, many titles such as What happens when our Loved ones Die Does God care, and a lovely video, Is there hope for the dead May the scriptures bring you comfort.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time! May your happy memories give you peace in the days ahead! Love and prayers, Dean and Betty
I’m so sorry Kim for your loss. I’m praying for you and your family. Sending lots of love and hugs your way my friend.
I’m so sorry for your loss sending prayers and thoughts up high but don’t worry she’s in a good place and she’ll always be in your ❤
Meemaw It was to my disadvantage not to have been with you more over the years because whenever I was, I could sense and feel your warmth, wisdom and kindness. I wish we could have gotten to know each other better, but I will always be grateful to you for your deep friendship with my sweet son, Danny, and for a lifetime of your love and support for your wonderful daughter Beth, who we are privileged to have now as part of our own family.
Please except my condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and bring her back again. John 528, 29 gives this assurance.

Love you and thank you for always being my 2nd mom and best friend. We always spoke the truth and I will always miss you! I know your in heaven with mom, dad and everyone else before you celebrating!
Knowing Joyce was a joy. We meet in the hair salon and she was my hair dresser for many years until she retired. I found out she married my first cousin, what a shock. I always claimed him anyway. I am so sorry this has happened to your family Carrol. All of you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love all.
My sincere condolences to the Cone family. May your many fine memories of Joyce and loving words comfort family and friends during this very difficult time and the days ahead (Isaiah 5715)

WC, your Daughters and the whole family are left with a void in their life bc of your passing. Watch over them and help them keep your memory alive. Until we meet again….
WC, Beth, Kim and Wendy – Words can’t describe how sorry I am. Joyce was precious and I love her like family. My heart hurts even though I know she walks among the golden streets of Heaven. She left us too soon but GOD has HIS plan for each of us. I will miss her so much.
Kim, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. Please know that you and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Elaine
Sincere Condolences To Joyce Cone Family, I’m so sorry for the passing of your dear love one. May you find comfort in knowing that God is there to comfort you. He is the Father of tender mercies and and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials. (2 Corinthians 13,4) (www.jw.org) May he comfort you through caring friends, warm memories, and moments of peace.
Mom, I am still in shock of how you left us. I don’t understand it. I just have to believe God needed you more than us. Everyday I will continue to try to call you or go by as I always did to make sure you and Daddy are ok Even though you are not on earth anymore, please continue to lead me and guide me. I love you and will miss my best friend forever and ever! It is an honor to be your daughter! Love always- Your Kimmy aka Kimberly Yvonne Cone Hackney 💔
