Joy Veaudry

Joy, Jeffrey Veaudry, your nephew, and I named our daughter after you. Gemma Joy. I wish I had known you.

It was such sad news to hear of Joy passing. I know that she is finally not suffering and for that I am so happy. She was an amazing woman. I will never forget her caring, her love and amazing compassion for other people. Joy was always positive and had an amazing outlook on life! She helped me through my cancer and for that I can never thank her enough! Please know that I am thinking of your whole family at this time and wish you all prayers! Joy will always be remembered!

Dear Bob, Jesse, Tom, and Cathy,
I just learned today of Joy's death, and am so very saddened. We were roommates in college and kept in touch throughout the years with birthday calls, at least. Several years ago we enjoyed a wonderful get-together in Newport. Oh, what a gracious, lovely, spirited person...what a loss for everyone. My heart and prayers are with you.
With love,
Ellen Ogintz Fishman

Dear Veaudry Family
My deepest sympathies to you during this time. I did not know Joy but knew of her as she co-authored Meeting the Grand Dame with my mom, Helen Quade. Her spirit and beauty came through her words and poems. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Peace~

Dear Bob, Jesse,Cathy and Tom,
I know that I don't have to tell you how special Joy was to all who knew her. Joy had the most gentle spirit and kind heart. As part of the breast friends support group for 14 years, she gave us friendship and understanding and her gift of beautiful meditations. Her soft voice and words would bring us to a very special place of peace.I know that Joy is now at peace and is one of the angels looking down on us all. I believe that those who leave us in this...

Bob, Jesse, Cathy & Tommy,
I was so saddened to hear of Joy's passing. I just cannot express my sorrow in words, but then you know what an amazing person she is and that she deserves to be at peace.
Namaste

Dear Bill and family,
The first time I met cousin Joy was when I was on a business trip in the Providence area. I remember picking up the phone to call and invite myself over for an evening to get acquainted. I cannot tell you enough, the joy in Joy's voice when I spoke to her for the first time.
We all shared time together at your home and then again at Don and Pat's home for a reunion.
Her outgoing smile, her spirit and love of life will always be remembered by me and my wife...

I knew Joy in Jr. High and loved her intelligence and enthusiasm; she was a great debate partner! I moved away and we lost touch for many years, but 25 years later, she made the effort to reconnect and I am grateful. She had grown into such a lovely, warm, and gracious woman and lost none of her wit and enthusiasm. I am saddened by her passing and offer my deepest condolences to her family.
