    Joy’s name always matched her personality. She seemed to always be excited about everyone she knew and all the positive things that happened in their lives. I will miss J o y because she was such a great encouragement to me and such a bright spirit. Our loss Heavens gain.

    Joy and Clint were very special friends of my parents, Paul and Jean Gabriel. They had lots of good times together. Joy will be missed but know she has been reunited with Clint.

    We are sad to hear of Joy’s passing but also glad to know that she is now with her Lord and Savior Jesus in heaven. We got to visit with her briefly in June when we were in the US and her deep abiding joy and devotion to Christ were a special blessing to us. We will always remember her with gratitude to God for the times we got to share with her.

    Joy was always happy and her love for the Lord showed through her actions. I know there is a celebration in heaven as she has been given her reward.
