Joy A Ruxlow

Gone too soon and loved by many Joy A Ruxlow 02/25/1935-02/22/2017 Joy leaves behind a Daughter Nancy Ruxlow-Amans, a brother Burton G. Christensen and many friends who loved her throughout her life and those for a brief time know as her "pool buddies." Joy left a folder for her Daughter and Nancy found this poem Joy left for her: ...and Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, let me go-I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love. You can only guess, how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love each of you have shown, but now its time I traveled alone. So grieve for awhile if you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. Its only for awhile we must part, so bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on so if you need me I will come. Though you can't see or touch me I'll be near and if you listen with your heart you'll hear, all my love around you soft and clear. And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say "Welcome Home." Nancy was Joy's only child and best friend. Joy died on the 22nd of February, 2017 and her Husband, Donald L. Ruxlow on the 23rd of Feb. 1999. Nancy asks that everyone become an organ donor to give life to those in need.
