Gary Wolfrum Never in all my time in retail or the restaurant business did I ever see a waitress who worked harder than Joybelle. Always good with the customers and fun to work with. She sure never let anyone get the best of her and that's what made her so special. My sympathy to all of you during the loss of your love one. People like Joybelle you just don't forget.
God Bless You All
