The obituary notice of Joy Carol HOWSON

Can't believe we have been 2 months without you. Even though the world around us is carrying on as before, my heart will be on hold until I see you again. How can it seem like a moment and years at the same time? I know you are safe, and I know I will see you again, and cherish that hope.....but I miss you now. I will hold up my promise and look after the family for you and dad, love you both so much. See you soon my lovely Mum and friend 💔😘🙏🏼🫂

My lovely gentle friend Joy.
I miss you and will miss you until we meet again. I can't wait to give you a big hug. I will always cherish memories of you and I really hope you knew how much your friendship meant to me.

We will keep an eye out on Jim, Sara and Drew until they are reunited with you and Colin. I really can't wait for that day.

Until then, I'm so glad you're not suffering anymore. You were one of the bravest and strongest ladies. So much might concentrated in that tiny frame. You always had a big smile on your face even when things were tough. But you were tougher.

We love you so much. And miss you even more. Your friend, Olka x

Joy,
Your name says so much about you -
because that’s exactly what you give.

Small in stature,
but never in heart.
The warmth that you give is a true work of art.

Your smile so pretty,
so easy and bright,
it lifts the day and softens the night.

You carry such kindness,
so gentle, so true,
and give so much more than you ever knew.

And though life felt heavy
at times on the way,
you still found a reason
to bring others joy each day.

You hold to a promise
of a world made new,
a place full of peace -
which I know you’ll see through.

So this isn’t goodbye,
just a moment apart,
because Joy still lives on
in everyone’s heart. 🤍

For fear of sounding soppy , ive struggled to write in this, but my mum and I went through so much and even though at times it felt like it was us against the world . I felt safe because I had my mum by my side even if I was the giant trying to look after her. I’ve never felt so alone, so unsafe as now knowing you're not here to smile at me and tell me it'll be ok.

Thank you for helping me have Jehovah to hold my hand and reassure me it still will
