I first met Joy in the 1970's when she had a gallery at Rocky Neck in Gloucester. My mother used to gallery sit for Joy and some of the other artists. Joy became a treasured friend to both my mother and me. I stayed in touch with Joy even after I moved to Oregon in the mid-70's. I was always thrilled to hear from Joy as I felt a deep connection with her. I visited Joy & Marilyn in Maine several times over the years and always felt instantly at home even if I had not seen them in a long time. I will miss Joy very much and will hold my memories of her close to my heart.

My son gave me a Joy Biddle print and it has always been in a place of honor in our home. We were fortunate to visit her studio with visiting friends and it was a warm and friendly place displaying her great talent. The world was a much better place for her being in it. She will be missed, but her art will go on forever.

Joy was true to her name. She came into my life and introduced me to chorus and Sunny and opened my eyes to a whole new world. I will miss her. Love you.
