Jocelyn D. Branham Earnest - Online Memorial Website

I just listened to the audiobook Under The Cover Of Night. I'm so thankful he was found guilty of your murder. What a tragic loss for your family for the rest of your lives. I'm so sorry. 

Isaiah 41:10

 

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I would like others to know how much I repsected and appreciated Jocelyn. Jocelyn and I first met in 1981 in 6th grade. We attended the same middle school. Even at a young age she had great strength. She was always nice to me at ta time when so many others were not. Jocelyn  was the first person to really be my friend and invite me to her home to hang out with her. I was happy to finally have a friend. She always took up for me when others put me down, she didn't care what others said about me she just wanted to be my friend. I have always remembered that and never took it for granted. By the time we were in high school Jocelyn was more popular than ever with her intelligence and her ablility to play basketball, even then she never strayed away, she remained a good friend, When we were in the 11th grade we had 2 classes together, in these classes we could sit wherever we wanted and Jocelyn saatwith me in both Driver's Ed and Chemistry class, when ever it was time to to do labs and pick  driving partner she picked me. She was never afraid to be her own person, when others would only want to talk to me in private or when noone was around. Jocelyn with all of her talent always made me feel important. She never knew how much respect I had for her. Whennever I think of my shcool days I think of her, she was a GREAT and DEAR friend. Thanks Jocelyn for making my life brighter!!! 

I wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you! I check this site everyday to see whats new. I really hope that more people share pictures or videos of Joce. I really think that all the stories help Laura and her family.

I really love the picture of Joce, Em and Laura in the tree. It's such a cute picture.

I love and miss you and will continue to pray!

I have been asked to add a page for Jocelyn's loved ones, friends and people whom she touched to share a message of HOPE.  The word that, as on her bracelet and on ours, signifies so many things.  Please feel free to share your messages and know that every one is treasured and re-read by her friends and family as strength for a new day!  God Bless! (I LOVE YA JOCE!)
