I just heard this afternoon about Joy's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll always remember this lady trying to protect me by keeping me out of her pool! I must have drove her nuts but she was always so kind to me.

I will miss Joy as I have Cliff. Having met them while on Whidbey Island we became good friends over the years and I looked forward to our time together. I'm sure Cliff met you with a smile as I know he loved you and missed you. Rest in peace my friends.
