Angie took care of my mother for many many years. She was always a very caring person she will be missed.

I love Joy so very much. A better friend you couldn’t have. She had the most beautiful smile and laugh. Humble, kind and giving joy to all are some of her best attributes. Thanks for sharing life with me my dear friend.

Joy was a beautiful memory from my childhood. My siblings and I were younger than Joy, so we knew she was more knowledgeable about life and it's mysteries. She taught us to bury our feet in the Earth so our feet would grow. We believed and we watched and waited while Joy wiggled her toes and told us her feet were growing. Later, Joy was my nurse after I had my second son. She gave me sound advice on being a mother, as my first child was 11 years older than my second. She lit up my world with her cheerful, bubbly, charming and exuberant manner. Surely missing such a marvelous angel.
