Re: Joy is at peace now

Dear Jennifer

My deepest condolences to you, Joy's children and all her friends, family and loved ones.

Joy was an inspiration and her name suited her so well. Her smiling and joyful face on this board will never be forgotten.

I write with a heavy and sad heart to hear of her passing.

God bless all of you.
