My Grandma Joye was an amazing woman. She inspired me to become a Nurse which I will fulfill this May. It has been over a year since she has passed and not a day goes by that she is not on my mind. We all miss her and love her so very much. She was such a kind hearted woman and will always be remembered for the warmth she brought to everyone and her beautiful smile. You are truly missed Grandma Joye and I will be with you soon enough.

I can only remember memories of her smiling.
I will miss her and hope that her family will celebrate her life.
She and Grandma had a good party and are waiting for us all.

I will miss my Aunt Joye. I have many great memories of the times we were able to be together. I'm so thankful for my Uncle Archie's commitment to care for her through her brave fight against illness. My cousins Ron, Renei, and Karen and their children are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so grateful I had the blessing of meeting Joye 20 some years ago. May she rest in peace. I will treasure the times we spent together.

I loved Joy. She was such a sweet woman, and she was funny too. She has such a kind and loving husband, Archie...that cared dearly for her until the very end. May God bless Archie and her wonderful family.
