Re: Remembering Joy
Luca, Thank you so much for this post. I always thought of Joy so much through this journey. I remember when she met you. I was so happy for her. It sounds like you made the most out of your short time together. The next time I go out I am ordering a Lemon Drop in Joy's memory. That seems like the perfect drink for such a bright and sunny person. Joy was a huge inspiration to me back in 04 along with many other angles that inspired me through the years. I will still think of her often and stay hopeful no matter how tough it gets. Joy will still inspire me through this journey. My thought and prayers are with you and family. Sally
