Wow, I can't believe that this has happened. My "Joyfulness" you were so very special and we will not forget that big heart of yours. You and Jo were on the first team I managed and I tell everyone, Joy managed me instead. Girl, I love you so much. Family my heart goes out to you all. That humor, smile and spirit are memories anyone who has had contact with her will cherish. Rest my friend.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
