Joy Virginia Decicco

You wouldn't think that after all these years since growing up next to Joy and her family, 40+ (yikes!), that I would feel such a feeling of loss at seeing the announcement in the paper. I can only begin to imagine what her family is feeling now. She had that effect on people... once you met Joy, she became a part of your life, a part of your heart. God bless her in her new peaceful home, and bless her family in their grief. Love.

Mike, our deepest condolences to you and your family on Joy's passing. You both have been such good friends for many years. We will always remember the good times we have enjoyed together on the ski slopes and in other activities. We are so glad we had the opportunity to again spend time together in Florida in recent years, and during your stop over visit with us on your way to Connecticut. Joy will alway remain in our thoughts and she will truely be missed.

John and Penny...

Joy was a wonderful, caring neighbor. I missed her when she moved from Avon to Florida.

My heart goes out to her loving family.

Dear Decicco Family,

What a "joy" your beloved Joy was to those who knew her. My neighbors and I took her evening aerobics classes for years and we came to love her dearly. She advised us about women's health issues and her favorite expression, "keep your cup half full and never half empty" has helped me through many of life's challenges.

You family is in my prayers and thoughts.
