They even enjoyed visiting with one another when Marva returned to Mississippi on occasion. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One day as Marva was planning another trip back, she called her old friend to try to plan another visit, and to her dismay, the number was no longer in service. Marva turned to the mail system to see if that would reach Joyce\u2019s house, but that didn\u2019t work either. She even tasked a mutual acquaintance with stopping by her house to see if she was currently there and got nothing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11429 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.spokeo.com\/compass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Hurricane.jpg?resize=389%2C258&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hurricane\" width=\"389\" height=\"258\" \/>Feeling sad about not being able to connect with her old friend, Marva turned to the Internet and typed Joyce\u2019s name into a search engine. She opted to take a chance on an ad for Spokeo and was joyous to find an updated phone number and an email address for her old roommate in a few easy steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She quickly sent a text and called the new number, and though she didn\u2019t get an answer, she left a voicemail in hopes of reconnecting. Joyce called her back that same day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy heart lept with Joy! I will forever sing your praises,\u201d she told us. She didn\u2019t give up on her friend and it paid off. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the two ladies caught up, Marva learned that following\u00a0Hurricane Katrina, Joyce had moved to another city and in the process, her number had changed as well. They are both overjoyed that they were able to connect once again after so many years and talk all the time. This Summer, they\u2019re even planning to get together in person once again!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Marva and Joyce were roommates in Mississippi for two years in the seventies, but stayed in touch for a long time after Marva moved and settled in California.
