Little Curtis,

Your Mom loved you and was so proud of you. She talked often about you. I'm certain she is looking over you everyday smiling. Continue to make your Mom proud in your future endeavors.

I worked with LaJoy at the VA Hospital and she was a wonderful woman. She talked about her son all the time and mentioned how proud she was of him. It broke my heart to hear of her "going home" to meet our Father so soon. But Jesus has a plan and there is never a mistake. Miss and Love you LaJoy.

To The Family of LaJoy
I am sadden by the news of Joy's Home Going. I lived three doors down the street from Joy and her family from the time she was a little girl until she graudated from High School . Joy was great friend to my son Maurice and the first employee I hired for my catering bussiness. What a wonderful and a gentle spirit she was. Joy will leave a hole in many lives,but remember Jesus is anointed to heal the broken hearted.

To the Perkins family, our family grew up together 2 generations and we all love LaJoy. In times of sorrow always remember that God makes no mistakes and to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. Prov 3:5-6. LaJoy will be missed and her memory will always live in your/our hearts and through her son.

Wow! My flesh encourages my heart to be sadden, yet my spirit is content because there is NO DOUBT in my mind that LaJoy is in Heaven and no longer in pain. Although I have not seen LaJoy in a few years I am thankful that God allowed me the opportunity to know Joy. Her smile could brighten a day. One thing that I know about Joy from our personal talks is that she loves her husband, son and family. Joy's death tells us 2 things: #1 Life is very short..so cherish each day as if it were your last & #2 Our faith must remain solid even when times get rough. She belongs to God, so thanks be to him for sharing her with us! Much love Big Cousin! MeMe & Family
