Dear Jane,Tripp and Parrish,
We were saddened to hear about the loss of Joye. Sometimes there are no words to say what is in our hearts. We are praying for all of you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Joye's family. I had the pleasure of crossing paths with her through the clinic where I work. She was a special woman and was such an asset to Premier. I trust that you will allow all the wonderful memories that you have of her, help you through the grief of her loss. She will be missed!

Heartfelt sympathy for the family of Joye. Our paths crossed a few years ago as she worked diligently for Berry Plastics. After being "downsized" she "landed" at Premier Wood Products, another of my clients! The blessing was mine as she was always so caring and positive. She gave everyone she worked with 110% and was always concerned about them and her son, Parrish. She was so proud of the day she went with him to the Veterans Hospital to care for those who had no family! I will remember her with a smile and will await the day to see her again in the PROMISED LAND!!
May God bless your family as you grieve your loss. You will be in my prayers.

Words cannot express the sadness I and so many others feel at the loss of Joye. She was a bright and beautiful spirit from the day we met in middle school and throughout high school. I know I speak for the entire Varina High School Class of 1990 in saying how loved and remembered Joye will be. We will forever remember her smile and that playful twinkle in her eye. She was incredibly special. Our deepest condolences and prayers for peace and strength to her Family and Loved Ones.
