Thoughts and prayers for everyone, as this is a great loss to us, but a welcome home for JOY!!!
Joy you were the queen bee and all those who worked with you knew it. Many will be with you together with our Lord forever.
Sometimes I still hear the sound of your voice.
I wish you were still here with me, but you had no choice.
I know an Angel held you as you said goodbye.
But that doesn’t stop my heart from breaking….“I miss you and I cryâ€.
No one can believe that you are really gone,
Our hearts are broken and our spirits moan.
“You were to youngâ€, to leave us that day,
“Why did you have to go away?â€
I try not to be angry, I kneel and I pray,
I ask God to be with us through each passing day.
I understand everyone’s emptiness, and their sorrow too,
Because, “My precious baby sister….. I miss you“.
I know you are happy in Heaven above,
You are still with Andre’, your one true love.
But today sweet Joy, my heart still grieves,
Because you are no longer here with meâ€.
I will look toward Heaven, for I know the day will come
When I will see your smile again, as bright as the sun.
Give my son Jason a big hug from me, tell him I love and miss him too,
One day soon I will be with all of you!
Revonda, Justin, & Crystal, please know that our prayers have been with you since the moment we heard & they will continue to be. The tragedy you are having to deal with is more than anybody should ever have to face. I will continue praying for God to wrap his arms around all of you & give you peace to deal with what is still to come.

Such a sad loss…Prayers and thoughts for the whole family, I know this beautiful angel will be watching over you, May God be with you, now and forever!!
We were so saddened to hear of your loss. Praying for God to comfort each and everyone during this difficult time.
Please accept our families sincerest condolence on the loss of your loved one.
Ps 147:3 says ‘He heals the brokenhearted ones, and he binds up their wounds.’ We need comfort in many areas of life. One of the greatest causes of grief is the loss of a loved one in death, especially a beloved marriage mate or a child. In times of distress, we may need comfort that soothes our heart, our mind, our emotions, and both our physical and spiritual health. God’s Word acknowledges that our heart can be “broken and crushed.†(Ps. 51:17) Even in severe situations, God can bring relief to a stricken heart if we pray to him in full faith.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May our Lord embrace you and give you comfort. We love you.
I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it can be to deal with the loss of a loved one….it’s an ongoing process. I know each day will bring its own challenges and it may seem hard to keep living without her there. I’ve lost loved ones in death and each day I’ve yearned to have them back; to see them smile, to hear them laugh, or just to spend another day with them. I drew comfort from the bible when I realized that my desire would one day come true and that death would soon be a thing of the past. These are just a few scriptures that I hope will give you as much comfort as they have given me.
Isaiah 25:8- ‘He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.’
John 5:28, 29- ‘Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out,’
Joy, I think of you every day with a heavy heart you will be missed
Joy I think of you often,we all miss you.
