My dearest friend, you truly have been a sister born for those in distress. You and Lothar have helped so many in their need. Jehovah said he would never forge your good deeds and the love you showed for his name. Nor will we .

Joyce was a beautiful person inside and out. A Loyal, faithful servant of our God Jehovah. She leaves behind beautiful memories and a sterling example for others to imitate.

We had the pleasure of meeting Joyce while serving at Patterson Bethel with Carl and Naomi. I remember the sparkle in her eyes and her warm smile when we met. 🥰 We will be forever thankful to her for the way she raised and nurtured her children and for lending her daughter Naomi to Jehovah. I am one of those who benefited from her sewing skills and still enjoy wearing a beautiful apron she made for me. May Jehovah continue to be a God of comfort for those who knew and loved Joyce.Grief is the price of love. The more we love, the deeper our grief. “I called on Jah in my distress; Jah answered and brought me into a place of safety. 6?Jehovah is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? - Psalms 118:5

Although I did not have the privilege of meeting Joyce personally, I can see from Naomi’s kindness and fine qualities what a loving and wonderful mother she must have been. It is a great comfort to know that Joyce faithfully served Jehovah and held firmly to the hope of the resurrection. I look forward to the time when she will awaken to perfect health on a peaceful paradise earth, surrounded by her loved ones again. With love and sympathy, Shuming

Lothar and family…I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t have a personal relationship with Joyce, but she altered and made many garments for me and my family. She was indeed a talented seamstress, and was a kind person with a beautiful soul.

My Deepest Condolences and prayers are with your entire family. I didn’t know Sis Lengtat personally only through Naomi, but looking forward to meeting her in the New World. From what I read, she was an amazing person qualities her sweet daughter Naomi now has. May Jehovah be with the family! Carolyn 🙏🏽❤️

Dearest Naomi and Carl, Brother Lengtat, family and friends, Brother Lengtat, you have lost the love of your life and there’s a hole in your heart that won’t be fully filled until you are reunited with your dear wife. Many who shared condolences here never met your wife or your children’s mother in person, and I never had the privilege of knowing her either. But it is clear, by everyone’s comments that her reputation as a warm, kind, funny, talented, generous and faithful sister preceeds her. I look forward to finally meeting her in the paradise when you’ll all be together, laughing and shedding tears of joy to also welcome back and meet Joyce’s Mother, who passed away before Joyce could even remember her. Won’t that be a joyous reunion! Carl, I know you are also missing Joyce because she is the one who Naomi’s beautiful qualities come from. Naomi, from all the descriptions of your Mom, I can see clearly that you are the spitting image of your Mom’s dear and sweet personality, so in this sense, I feel like I already know your Mom. Our prayers and love are with all of you. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others, bring comfort and peace to your hearts.—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4. Love, Todd and Liza Freund♥️
