It seems impossible to find the right words. Joy was a very special person.

Some of us seem to have an easy road through life…Some of us, like sweet Joy, seem destined to travel a bumpy road. But through it all, she shared much joy–such an appropriate name for her!….She left us two beautiful gifts in her children. And she knows that we are all here for you, Lexi and Ryan–We love you very much!!

I can still see Joy at Ali Helmer’s shower. There was a sweet serenity in her smile…she seemed so very much at peace.

Joy is in a far better place now, and I truly believe she is smiling down on all of us with her beautiful, sweet smile.

My condolences to all who are suffering from her loss, and I hope and pray that the pain goes away and only beautiful memories remain to lighten our days.
