Hermes,
Joy was a dear, dear person and will be sadly missed. We were so happy for the 2 of you on your retirements and move to CA to be by your children and grandchildren - what a hard decision that was to make. It is comforting to know that your family is by your side to support you right now.
Joy was a friend, a co-worker, and such a blessing to us all. She left a little bit of herself back in DE for sure.
Love to you and the family,
Jack and Joan
