You are always remembered and deeply missed.

Dear David and Gioa I am thinking of Joy and all the good and creative energy she brought forward. I miss her and I miss both of you. I hope you are doing well please reach out when you get a moment and I will as well. Senfing love

We all loved her. Such a talent and friend

Dear David and Gioia - I cant believe its been five years already. Every time I pass the train station in Stamford seeing it lit up in design I think of Joy. I remember her brilliant mind her good heart and her exceptional artistry . Please know she lives on in my heart and that I miss you both. Xo ❤

I just came from Terra Tractus, June 28th, 2014. I never met Joy Wulke, but what a fabulous light/design show. She must have been a very talented and special woman. She will be missed. My loss to have never met her.

I am heartbroken... I was buying a ticket for Terra Tractus when I saw the mention "as a memorial"--thought I had misread but... I met Joy only once but found her to be an extraordinary person exuding so much gentleness; I was invited to visit her but never followed up. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa... A regretful omission. Terra Tractus will be a soothing celebration of a great, artful lady. Bless her soul and may she rest in peace.

We all said goodbye to Joy at her Memorial Service this morning. All gathered at the church this gorgeous SPring/Summer Day. There must have been 300 people there. Joy was remembered and honored by many and we all will miss her terribly. Love to David and Gioia as they struggle with this loss--but will find the strength to move forward. Lots of Love--Christine Ingraham and Greg Spiggle

I knew Joy when I first started to work at Yale, she was a student in the Felix Drury studio, was so alive with ideas for three dimensional art for kids. She also worked with my sister in Glasgow, who admired her wonderful work. I will miss the life that she gave to everyone.
