Bob and Cindy, Sorry to hear of your loss. I always thought Joy brighten the world with her laughter, kindness and love of her family .She was so devoted and caring for the two of you. She always had beautiful flowers and a big green garden. I loved to hear her play the piano in the mornings(ESPECIALLY THE CHICKEN SONG) while we waited on the school bus to arrive. Bob, you had a wonderful wife and Cindy,you had a great Mom. I know you will miss her, but her wonderful memories will always be present. Love you guys, Debbie
