Joy was a true friend. Her heart reached in every direction. If you knew her, then you automatically loved her.
ReplyDeleteShe was one of those people that would never judge who you were or what you did. She would be the first to be there for you in need.
I cherish her friendship because it never had conditions. She was an angel long before her death.I will forever be proud that I met her and shared this life with her on Earth.
I can just imagine how blessed Heaven is with her presence ! Dee
Hello family of Joy. I am so sorry for your loss. I was trying to locate an address for Joy and googled her name and learned of her recent passing. I would like to contact someone in the family. I am related through my father George Miller, who passed in August 2003 and my mother, Lucille, passed in September 2008. My email is debbymichael@sbcglobal.net and my phone number is 281-379-4684.
