It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Chaya Joy, who graced our lives for just four short years. Born on September 20, 2019, Chaya Joy was a beacon of light and love, bringing an indescribable joy to everyone who knew her.
Though her time with us was brief, Chaya Joy had a profound impact on our family. With a smile that could brighten the darkest of days and a spirit filled with boundless curiosity and rambunctiousness. Chaya Joy taught us the true meaning of unconditional love, understanding, and patience, especially with her passion putting ingredients together. Her innocence and pure heart brought our family closer, helping us to cherish the small moments and hold onto one another just a little bit tighter.
Chaya Joy had a special way of bringing out the best in everyone around her, reminding us daily of the beauty and wonder in the world through her eyes. Her laughter was a melody that will forever echo in our hearts, and her gentle presence has left an imprint that will never fade.
We are forever grateful for the time we were blessed to spend with Chaya Joy. Although her journey on this earth was far too short, the love she shared and the lessons she taught us will live on in our hearts forever. We were grateful to witness her kindergarten graduation in June and wish to thank the school for embracing and loving our baby girl, especially her teacher Bella and aide Janelle.
She leaves broken hearts to the surviving members of her family, she is survived by her loving parents, Sam Francis and Carolyn Peck; sisters Ciara, Carleigh, Caylee, Claudia, brothers Baby Sam, Daniel, Castiel, Gabriel, all at home.
