So very saddened by the news of Joy´s passing. We were neighbors on Chapel Street for many years. I have followed her in Facebook occasionally and enjoyed her posts about her different adventures. Rest peacefully Joy, you are with Bernie now.

I was so stunned and saddened to hear of Joy's passing. I would always enjoy her company when she would come home. I haven't seen her in maybe 3 years, so I was also surprised to hear of your Mom's passing. She loved her little best friend Sasquatch!! I'm so sorry.

Dear Bishop and Extended Family. I was in shock and am deeply saddened to learn of Joy's passing. She helped me to stay in touch with Mother Joy Bishop. Two such losses of two remarkable women in such a short period of time is hard to accept.
Please accept my deepest sympathies on this loss. Let the positive memories of Joy be a blessing you can call on whenever you need.
