My first job in high school was working for Joye and Bill in their office. I will never forget them teaching me exactly how to take a phone message! She was such a joy to so many people. Our prayers are with you all. Stephanie Thomason Austin, Texas Stephanie Sternenberg Thomason, June 13, 2007 I recall all of us getting together around the Christmas holidays (when we were young children).

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Keith and Jan Keeling, June 13, 2007 We both have fond memories of Joye and Bill, they were always together when we lived in Amarillo. I'm sure she is peaceful now, and resting with Bill. We had a great building partnership with them, both were very talented and witty! I enjoyed Joye's emails, our only contact since she had moved away. She always sent us a cute card she had made on the computer! I will miss those..Our prayers are with you.
