Remeber to lean on your friends, family and faith to help you through the rough times, and take a moment to share the happy memories with those you are close to.

Joy was my colleague in Girl Scouts. While her light didn't flare like a sun spot, her fire burned long and bright and strong. I always knew that I could count on her to finish any project - well. I could depend on her. At one point, she almost single-handedly kept Girl Scouting alive in Irondequoit. Countless girls were fortunate to have her for a role model. And she was brave. We should all face our life struggles with such courage and grace.

My condolences to all her family and friends. We will grieve together.
