I use to work with Joey at Sam's Club as demo ladies. Joey had a great sense of humor and I loved working with her. She always made me laugh. What a wonderful person she was.

Joey was always a delight to be around. Many hiliarious moments. She always had a smile on her face and a hug for everyone. I will always remember her as being warm and friendly and she sure did love her kids. She will be missed.

Donnie & Family: In high school Joey was a "what you see is what you get" girl, never politically correct in any way, shape or form. Her humor was infectious and she always had me laughing. I loved her hilarity, as did most of her peers. She was, and is, as good as it gets, in my opinion, and will be greatly missed in this world. RIP old friend.
