so today i went to Joyce's wake which is basically the viewing of her body with a little prayer service and people get the chance to speak about her...i am pretty cried out...so i decided that i'd go up...and when i got up there, of course i was ready to cry again...so i talked real fast so i wouldn't break down in front of people...this is what i said:
joyce was one of the most beautiful people i've ever met and probably will ever know...i probably wasn't one of her better students vocally but she made me feel like i was...she always made sure i was in a dress and was made up for every concert, recital, or performance....before i met her i was strictly hip hop, r&b, and pop...she showed me the beauty in classical, musicals, showtunes...and all different kinds of genres...she loved me unconditionally............joyce, i will miss you...and i love you from the bottom of my heart...
so tomorrow's the funeral...christine, omar, and many other choir friends will be there....we'll get thru it together...peace out
