Joy was one of the most wonderful man that I have ever known and I loved him Dearly. He was my Uncle and I will always cherish the wonderful memories that I have of him and his children. I admired him so much. Joy always had a sense of humor and he kept his spirits up until the end. He will be missed so much and now he is in Heaven with my Mother. My Heart goes out to Edith, Juanita, Jeffery and Debbie who stuck my Joy's side and took such wonderful care of him til the end.

All my Love,
