Shelly and Family, We will always remember what Ronnie did for our daughter Julia when she was in his class. His kindness to her and belief in her meant so very much to a sixth grader. Shelly, I also think about your parents and how much they would be there to support you through this trying time. May God bless all of you and fold you in His loving arms. Our love and prayers go with you.

Message from Miss Karen LaRocco

My children spent 9 wonderful years at Chatham Charter school. Mr. Joyce was, generous to me and my 2 children. He was a wonderful generous person.
He bent over for me and my children, when our funds were low. I'm from a Northern State.
Mr. Joyce put true action, into the expression, Southern Hospitality. Peace to his wife and family.
May God lie upon him for eternity.
Karen LaRocco.
