To the family you have my sincerest sympathy. I can't believe she is gone. I miss her already. Joy and I have had continual interactions over the past 4 years and grew closer during that time. She was such a knowledgeable individual. I will miss her unique personality. She could always make me laugh. -- Linda Clark Brown
