No words can bring her back...but her memory will live on...Such a beautiful person that will be missed tremendously! Though my mind hasn't gripped this fully yet, I know my God is too wise to make a mistake, and too just to do any harm...Rest on Joy, and i'll see you in the morning!
Love Always

i'm free, i'm following the path god laid for me! i took is hand when i heard him call, i turned my back and left it all! i could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play, task left undone must stay that way. i found peace at the close of day. if my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered "joy"! a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah, these things i too will miss! be not burdened with times of sorrow, i wish you the sunshine of tomorrow! my life's been full, i've savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch! perhaps my time seemed all to brief don't lengthen it now with undue grief! lift up your hearts and sing with me, "god wants me now, he set me free!"

No words can express the sorrow nor grief that is felt at the lost of a love one. Only God's love that flows from heart to heart understands. My prayers are with you Pam and family.

My deepest sympathy & prayers to Joy's daughter & family. May God watch over you & guide you in your time of bereavement. On behalf of the fellow classmates of DeVry University, Joy will be extremely missed & never forgotten. I'm gracious for the little time we've spent...the pleasure was all mine in getting to know one of the sweetest young ladies on earth.

God looks down into his beautiful garden and decides to pick one of His most precious flowers to bring home with Him to put in His crystal vase to beautify His heavens. Joy will be missed greatly with her beautiful and loving spirit. We will keep you in our prayers and you lift you up continually before the Lord. Love you Pam! Kimberly Pompey

Although we mourn at the fact she isnt here physically with us the memories we shared with her and everything we loved about her is always in our hearts! So although now it may seem hard we know God makes no mistakes and that we all trust in him to get us through these times...Ill be especially praying for immediate family to get through this and that each ache turns into the glory of God for the sake of Payten we have her and joys legacy and we can say she fulfilled her purpose in earth because regardless of what she endured she remain humbled and sweet and love everybody..I love her dearly and will miss her and our fetish we shared together winnie the pooh..Joy have fun with meghan and tell my dad Trevor Isaid hello and i love and miss him may God bless you and keep you through this time...see you sooner than later Joy ;-)

Joy,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes your loved ones watched you, and saw you pass away. Although they loved you dearly, they could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

God saw a beautiful rose and decided he was ready for it. We are glad that we got a chance to spend time with Joy and the rest of the family just a few weeks ago. Who would have known that this moment would be upon us. To my sister/brother and her mom know that God is awesome and he is our strength and refuge. We must call on his precious name for strength and healing. We love you and our hearts and prayers are with our family.

To Mary, Gail, Jean, and Family:
Weeping may endure for a night, but "Joy" comes in the morning.
If we keep God's word and trust him we shall see "Joy " again when we shall all be caught up to meet with the Lord on that glorious and wonderful day.
May God continue to strengthen and bless each of you in keeping the memories of "Joy". As the days, months, and years come and go, know that the pain will ease and you will be able to make it through the day.
Prayerfully submitted

Joy, it's so hard to believe that just a few short months ago we stood in these same shoes, but as a family we must understand, realize and remember that our father makes no mistakes! I find comfort in knowing that you are at rest now, all troubles and triumphs overcome!! You've done what we all must do, so go ahead cousin and rest awhile! Now you along with the other angels of the Stokes and Rains family can continue to watch over us daily! We love and miss you dearly!
