"I miss you, as you know. I feel you all the time but I would love to hug you one more time and then again. I wish we could grow old together as planned, fight with each other, walk into the room with the same cloths on, laugh with each other. I wish my kids could continue building memories with you. I never thought this would happen but I?ll try to accept it. I love you so much sista sista. Please keep hanging around me....just don?t scare me ?...please-I love you "

Tributes
"Dearest Joslynn Joy, I am so sorry to hear of your departure from this world so early. You had so much, but never realized it. You spent your whole life looking for something that was right in front of your lovely Hazenberg nose ? love. So many people loved you. I loved you with all my heart and still do. Regardless of how things turned for us, I still think of you every day ? and will continue to do so. The one thing I take solace in and that is where you are at right now. Your job here on earth was done and the Lord needed you in heaven more. Everyone here will miss you terribly but knowing you will not suffer the pain and depression any longer gives me comfort. Knowing you will no longer be a slave to the addictions that bound you eases my pain. The confidence I have that you are resting in the Lord?s arms right now is all that buoys me. Goodbye, Joslynn Joy. I will see your beautiful face again. Rest in the peace you are finding right now. Love forever, Steve "
