Anna Joy Horsch

Dear Joy - What a pleasure to have met you and Rudy when our paths crossed in Wausau, WI. I have you to thank for rekindling my desire for the beauty in life, and for opening my eyes to what is possible with a little confidence. My deepest gratitude for leaving us two landmark gems here in Wausau, and for your dear family who now lives on in your absence. My thoughts and prayers are with you, dear Rudy, and your family.

Joy was the consummate extrovert whom everybody loved and loved to be around because she loved people! There will always be a little hole in the universe that no one but Joy can fill. Rest In Peace, Joy, and have a nice glass of wine waiting for each of us.

Anna Joy was wonderful friend and a caring person. She was full of life and always smiling. God Bless her departed soul. We will miss her physical presence but she will be always in our hearts.

Laughter, great food and good company, that is what made our friendship so special!
Joy are there slot machines in heaven?

Your friends now and forever

Mike and Bea

I was so blessed to be Joy and Rudys next door neighbor in Laguna Niguel. Joy instantly took me under her wing, and made me feel welcomed, and a part of the family from Day One. She was a Very Special Lady, one in a million, and her joie de vivre was felt by everyone she came in contact with. I will miss her, along with dozens of others, and will always think of her with a smile. We were lucky to have known her. Rest In Peace, Dear Joy. A Life Well Lived. xoxo Peggy

Joe and Debbie... I am so glad that we were able to meet your Mom at Marcus and Sharlee's wedding! She was a wonderful lady and we are so sorry for your loss!

Joy,

You were our Mae West and Bon Vivant who brought so much light into our lives.

...We considered you and Rudi to be our "parents without guilt" and joked that if our family were ever in a fight that we know you would be right along our side.

Natalie and I (and Bri and Alex) feel so fortunate to have been blessed to have had you as one of our most intimate gifts - what a joy it was to have enjoyed so much time with you over the last two decades.

Our most...

Mrs. Horsch was such a sweet lady I loved talking with her and listening to her stories.
