Joy M. HAYES

Dear Kim, Jeff, and Jon, I am so very sorry to learn of your Mom's death. I still have the picture of Joy and Don on my bookshelf and was hoping to get back in touch with her but, sadly, I waited too long. Know that you are each in my prayers. Joy was a treasure and her love, a true gift in my life. I pray you are all well and that all good things are yours. Blessings and prayers as you grieve the loss of your beloved Mom, Nan Philipp

Joy lived steadfast in faith, knowing the biggest treasures in life only come from Christ. She was always concerned about the best for others, cherished friendships, and loved church fellowship. She reached others with the gospel, and had a heart for missions. Her love for our family was unending and ever present, remaining in our hearts always. How wonderful to know we will see her again, and not just for one day, but forever, and in a perfect place!

How wonderful that Joy is with her Savior and her beloved Don. I was blessed by Joy's mentoring several years ago at Christ Community Church. She was a lovely example of God's love and grace.
