Guestbook

  1. Tim and Rita were one of my most admired couples. Tim served and loved his wife. If she needed anything in her world of work (Nash CC) Tim was there to fix or construct or repair whatever she needed. I ran in to Tim often at the Harris Teeter and it was always the highlight of my day to visit with him. Always friendly and warm and always sharing what his sweet wife was doing and how she was doing. Rita and children….my prayers are as you learn to navigate life in a new way. So thankful for you all that you have many very good memories to cherish.

  2. My condolences to the Joyner family. I work with Tim for many years at Autumn Care of Nash, best supervisor ever and a wonderful human being. RIP Tim Joyner. Sincerely Wallace

  3. A dear dear friend. I cant say we always saw eye to eye but we did understand the others way of thinking.. he could not have married a person that I can call a more dear friend than than I do Rita. My heart breaks for you girl. Always know that you have a friend. I love you.

  4. Hello Rita, we just recently heard that Tim had passed away. We were so sorry to hear the news. It’s been so long since we’ve been in touch but we think about our Rocky Mount friends often. You and your sweet family will be in our prayers. With our deepest sympathy and love, Liddy Cope and family.

  5. Sorry to have read of your passing. I’ve tried to find yall.
    I hope everyone else is well. Love always James Lee Barnes
