grandma joy i miss u so much and wish u could have held ur 2nd great grandson i still cant belive ur gone and wish i could c u again i love u so much

Grandma Joy, i will never forget you and everyday i think about you and i cry because your gone but your still in my thoughts we all love and miss you, you were the best grandma ever  you know why, the reason why is because you gave us a a roof over our heads, food to eat a place where there is love and memories. Many tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief, 
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought... 
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belonged to you.

Joy was a great 2nd mom to me.  She nicknamed me "trouble" because of the trouble Tracy and I came to find.  She also was an inspiration because of her involvement and dedication to the program. I am truly sorry I missed the funeral but I know she is watching over all of us and I am praying for all of you. She has touched all of us. God Bless You Momma Joy. Lisa Puente

Joy was a wonderful lady and has really made a difference in my life. We were friends for just about 30 years.   I would like to be more like her warm, giving and kind and what a great laugh.  I will try to carry some of that forward for her.  She will live on in our memories.

In memory of Joy - her friend and yours,
Sue Witherell

Patsy, Sorry I missed Joy's funeral. She was such a nice person. I am sorry that she is gone.


We are sorry to hear of Joy's passing.  She was such a good high school friend and always smiling.  We have lots of good memories of her dancing parties.  She will be missed.  

Treasure the memories.  Our deepest sympathy.

Such a sweet lady with a big heart. Will miss her smile and laughter.

We are all so sorry to hear of your loss.  

May He keep you in His care, and bring peace to your heart, as He hears all of your prayers.

May God temper your grief with His everlasting Love,

With Deepest Sympathy,

My condolences to the family of Joy. I went to school with her and brother Dennis. I was very sorry to see this in the paper.

We haven't seen Joy in a couple of years, but what a wonderful person she was.  We went to High School with her and she was just so great.  She could always be depended on for help with any thing and she was always happy and full of laughter.  I know you girls  and your family will miss her very much.  They just don't make them like her anymore.  Our prayers are with you all.

We are so very sorry to hear your Mom passed.  She was a really neat lady and was very lucky to have such great daughters.  Thinking of you all and sending prayers your way.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We well remember your mother as a lovely woman and wonderful neighbor.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
