Joy, as she was called in school, was a good friend. I searched for her at great length to reunite and see how she was. I remember when she was dating her first husband and how excited she was to marry because, as she said, "life is too short to wait". Unfortunately, 2 yrs later, he passed in the car accident. Losing the "love of her life" devastated her and was something she never got over, though she managed to find love later. I've had the pleasure of connecting with one of her sons who has a business, Kettle's Crosses.

I'm very saddened to become aware of her passing, but can't help but feel she's much happier.
