God called His sweetest angel back to Heaven. Our sweet precious baby girl, Joia Angelina La Rosa, fought a long and difficult battle with a very special heart, a heart full of love, peace and strength. Our sweet and fiesty girl with her beautiful spirit left her mark on this world. She made a difference to everyone's life that met her, that knew of her story. Joia brought out the best in us, her parents. She gave us many joys, love and showed us what is truly important. Joia we know you are at peace, your heart is whole, and you are watching over us from heaven. We love you with all our hearts. We are grateful for every moment spent with you and for all of the lessons you have taught us. Our sweet and precious Joia, you will be forever remembered, missed and loved. Rest in peace our beautiful baby girl. Thank you to all those who have inquired about where they can send flowers.

an Angel came to you
your hearts opened wide
she changed your world
but couldn't stay
always in your thoughts
forever and a day…

...e se le nostre mani si stringeranno in un altro sogno,
noi costruiremo un'altra torre nel cielo.

Dear Andre and Claudia
Words are inadequate to express my sorrow at the sad news of both losses you have had to endure. My heart and simpathy go out to you in your great sorrow.
I will surely miss little Joia, she will always have a fond place in my heart.

Andre, Claudia, my condolences on the passing of your daughter Joia. There are no words at a time like this but our thoughts and prayers are with Joia who is now in the hands of God and your entire family. Take care. Andre, Jennifer and Michael La Rosa.

I am genuinely sorry for your loss. No one better than God, understands the depth of your pain and can help you cope with your disquieting thoughts. He is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort and he cares for you. The Bible describes a time in the future when mankind will not be subject to criminals, violence, accidents, sickness, and death. Jehovah God promised that soon, he will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Revelation 21:4. Until that day comes, I hope that in due time you receive God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.
