Re: Joy is at peace now

Dear Jennifer,
I am so sorry to hear of Joy's passing. She is such a sweet, sweet soul, I am glad that she is now in a place of peace surrounded by friends and family that preceeded her.

Please take a measure of comfort that she was such in inspiration to so many of us on this site. She encouraged me from the first time I logged on. Her picture with that huge smile always made me feel that I could live life to the fullest and be happy even while fighting this disease.

She was so lucky to have a sister that loved her as much as you did. We will all miss her very very much.
