Read MoreI have just learned of Joy's homegoing. We roomed together at BJU and I have never forgotten her sweet spirit and example to me there. What a blessing she was to me and others and what a blessing to know we will see her again. We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers.

Gary, I'll always remember Joy's beautiful smile from the choir loft, her loving glances at you when she signed your sermons, and her beautiful, smiling bell-like voice, both at church and when she would stop by.
Keeping you in prayers.

I have fond memories of Joy. Her meek and quiet spirit, mixed with genuine love, was felt by everyone. She was a wonderful example of the believer in every respect. Her life was a constant display of the fruits of the Spirit. She is now in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, forever. Praise the Lord!
