Leave a tribute for Joy Hall Moretz.
I had the pleasure of meeting Joy at the Brian Center in Spruce Pine when I took a nursing position there. We became friends and kept in touch. I immediately was drawn to her. She had a good soul. I am sorry things were so hard but now I hope you are free from the pains and hell we have to endure here. I hope to see you one day again. Love, Bobbie
Joy you will surely be missed. We had some great times of laughter and fun. You have now joined Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have also joined my Mom up there in Heaven. Please hug my Mom and tell her I miss her so much and How I love her so. I hope you and Mom have fun up there laughing and cutting up. Love Always, Brenda
Joy and I had a unique relationship, but as I’ve grown older, I learned how incredibly talented she was and I am so thankful I was able make amends and to tell her how much she truly meant to me and my mom. I know that my mom and Joy are having the time of their life in the after life. I’ll always remember our late night karaoke, the laughs, the crafts and her ability to bring JOY no matter where she went. Truly a special lady who will always hold a special place in my heart. I am praying for her kiddos, grand kiddos and everyone who cared about her. My deepest condolences, you all are loved so much. May she rest in eternal peace and comfort. Godspeed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was just reading her silly messagesa week before she passed. She was a friend that will be sorely missed! Hugzzz, Carla
