Joya was always so helpful when it came to being behind on the school bill. I am a single mom of two little boys and she was always willing to let me pay when I could. She said "Let this be the least of your worries." Her smile was always inviting and made me feel comfort. I cried at hearing about such a loss and will miss her dearly. Thank you Joya for all you did, you're an inspiration.

Joya was my first Facebook friend. :-) I met her 5 years ago through Early Childhood Parent Advisory Council. She was always friendly, kind and had a great sense of humor. She never said a mean word about anyone. Joya was always a joy to be around. She gave so much back to her community. She will be greatly missed by all that were lucky to have known her.

Dear Jon, Hannah and Luke,
Joya's dedication to her family and friends was truly inspirational. I've enjoyed her many endearing stories of life and love through the 16 years that I've known her. The courage and strength she shared especially within the last two years has been inspiring. We got together almost 3 weeks ago and she shared such insight and preparedness for this final journey of her life. What blessed me the most was that she said she had no regrets and was blessed with full life. She was so strong and at peace for what God had for her next. Her presence and humor will truly be missed by so many who loved her. Take comfort in knowing she is at peace, no more pain, and is tenderly cared for by her heavenly Father. My thoughts & prayers are with you all. Please know HE will always be with you to comfort and strengthened you during this time of deep sorrow.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Jon, Hannah, and Luke,
Joya was such a beautiful bright light for our world. I'm so sorry that she is no longer with you. You
and your extended family, will be in my thoughts and prayers as you journey into the months ahead. I wish i could be there today, but I'll be thinking of you. I know God has all of you wrapped tightly in His arms. I love you all-including you, Hannah and Luke. Even though I've only known you through Christmas cards and letters; you have always been precious to your parents, who are precious to me. God be with you and carry you through this day-I know He will. Love, Darlene
