My dear Aunt Joy, I will miss you! I have lots of memories growing up and as an adult to hold dear to my heart and I am thankful for that. You are always willing to have a pound cake ready when needed. We have enjoyed family get togethers with you and Jimmy. Thank you for your smiles, the best hugs and sharing the fun stories of us when we were kids. I will continue to pray for uncle Jimmy and your son Chick and his family because I know you are already missed. Love you! Angela Ashford( North)
