What a wonderful and sweet lady Joy was. I met her though her daughter Mary, and worked with her for a short time. She was quirky but loved with all of her heart. She was a bright light and will be missed by many. My love and prayers go out to you Mary, Greg, and Amber, and to anyone else that knew and loved her. Rest in peace.
