Dear Roz, I did not know you as Joy but I did know the joy you brought into my life and simply wanted to send you a hug via this Guestbook entry and to ask you to give my Mama one as well. I am sure you have become good friends already and the two of you are talking about us all with smiles lighting up Heaven! I know you will be missed by your lovely girls and believe me, it has been almost 5 years since my sweet Mom left this Life and entered into Eternal Life, and we still think about her everyday as I know your girls will also and all those that knew and loved you so. I am lighting this candle for you this evening, for us here, and in honor of you, but also know that you are lighting up Heaven with your presence. Much Love.

We love you mom. You will always be in our thoughts and hearts. We miss you so much yet know that you are exactly where you wanted to be with our family (say hi to everyone for us) and with God and his angels. We know that you are having way more fun now than you were and that brings us peace. All our love, from Your Family and Friends on Earth! Di
