I always could make you laugh no matter what! Even when you were upset I always made it better I love and miss you so much :/ it's unreal!
Ms. Joy (Meemie) will be missed! She was a good friend to me for many years. She was very good to my two sons.

I will miss Joy so much. Her sense of humor and determination to live life fully was contagious!! She had so much love for her family, friends, and little dog Molly. I'll always value our conversations and her wonderful gardening tips. My prayers go out for her family and friends.
Precious memories are so important now. May they fill your hearts with comfort and peace. And although there are no words that can take away the pain, please remember that you are not alone. Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." Pray to Him for strength. He will really help you (Isaiah 41:10) because He cares for you (1Peter 5:7). He has given us His son Christ Jesus so that we might have hope in a better future when there will be no more sickness and death. John 11:11, 21-26; Revelation 21:3,4. As we continue to pray for that day, please know you have my heartfelt condolences over your loss. Matthew 6:9,10.
