Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Andy, it’s as if you are speaking for all of the kids in the neighborhood! I will remember all of the Joyner’s with much fondness. You are all in our prayers! with love and peace, Brenna Mottershead Bennett
Sam was a special lady. She took such good care of our Mom who had Alzheimer’s. For over a year, Sam came to our home every week day like clock work to fix Mom her breakfast or take her to her favorite restaurant, the Cracker Barrel. She stayed each day until either Jack or I were on our way home from work. She took Mom to her beauty parlor appointments every week and that was no easy task. All of Sam’s actions displayed her kind, loving & giving heart. She always looked great and took such pride in her appearance. Without Sam’s faithful and reliable care, we would not have been able to provide the home environment that we wanted for our Mom. We will be forever greatful. Sam will be missed by all that knew her.
