To the family I would like to extend my deepest sympathies at the loss of your sweet mother. She worked with my mother Jane Hickman and that is how I got to know her she also lived in our church parsonage for a short while she was a beautiful lady and had a happy smile that lite up her eyes. I see she is related to several people I know I want each and every one of you to know that me n my mom are praying for you.
We love you Joy and will miss you. but we will see you again.
