Joy, I love you so much and I am so happy for you. Even w/all the difficulties you faced the last six years, you always lived your life, not wasting your time here. You made us all feel special even though we were the lucky ones. Joe and Jason you are the incredible people your grandmother raised you to be and a perfect testament to who your grandmother was and will always be.
Love Always,
Pam Grone

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.
