Joy was the most wonderful example and I considered her one of the best friends I could have ever had. She never judged or made you feel that you were inferior. She taught me so much about being a strong woman, and we shared many wonderful memories throughout the years. Choir, PTA, Church, Sewing Night, Kids!! You name it! She was an inspiration to me and I will love her forever. Someday we will meet again! I love you Joy. Terri Homer

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
