Joy Jones, aptly named for the joy she spread to all who knew her. She and I shared many hours of piano playing, lunch dates and conversations about our lives in Christ. What a sweet friend, and what a loving husband Royal is to have cared for her each day until she met our Lord and Savior face to face. May God watch over you Royal and comfort you. In Christ,
