Bob, I am sorry for your loss. Joy was such a nice lady. I remember after playing a game at Benny Craig Park how we would stop by and visit sometimes. I understand your loss and hope God can give you some comfort and peace in the coming days.

Bob, we are so sorry for your loss. Joy had a beautiful soul and she will be missed dearly, Praying for all of you during this difficult time. I can remember as a child mom would take me over to visit her she always had something on the stove cooking and it smelt so good. I always remember her beautiful smile also. She was a special lady.

It is so hard to give up our loved ones, but the bible says whosoever shall believeth in him shall not die but have everlasting life. May you all know the peace of our Lord during this difficult time. Look to him for your strength as you begin a different way of life without Joy Dean. She is in the company of our Jesus and there can be no better place to be until we all meet again. God Bless.

We will sure miss Joy, coming over to get her hair done every week. We loved her, but seeing her struggle with so many health problems, we are very sad, but rejoicing that she is finally free of them. She is looking at Jesus! and a great reunion with her loved ones. We pray that Bob and family will be alright and most of all think about seeing her again...so, be sure to be "ready" for we know not when our time comes, and the Lord is coming soon.

Aunt Joy, my mema's baby sister, brought so much joy and love to all of us. She was a true friend, and wise comforting mother to all of us, as needed. Joy's legacy in many of us is the love of God she shared; in her presence you KNEW you were valuable and loved. My sympathy for her loved ones that still needed her, my greatest excitement for Aunt Koy because I know her homecoming will be worth it all.

Heaven truly did gain a Mother to all. I will always cherish the memories of countless weekends spent at your house spending the night during my childhood (even the times April and I were being mischievous)! You made the best chocolate gravy and you'll always be remembered and very near and dear to my heart. I never really got the chance to say thank you as an adult but thank you for everything Mrs. Joy!

I'm so sad to hear that Mrs. Joy has passed on,but I know that she is in Heaven right now rejoicing with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and all of her loved ones who have passed on before. Bob, I know that your heart is hurting beyond belief, but I also know that you know where she is and that you will join her when you leave this mortal shell that we're all trapped in until the time comes for us to join them all in God's Glory. God bless you and keep you as you deal with this time of loss. I love you Uncle Bob, and I'll be seein ya soon.
