I did not know Joy that well as I worked in the Empire-Norfolk store but I did know her and I know she will be greatly missed at the Empire-Hampton store. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I was shocked to hear about the passing of Joy this morning, I had the pleasure of working with Joy at Empire Machine for several years. I last saw Joy about 2 to 3 months ago when I stopped by Empire to see Eric.My prayers and thoughts go out to Joys Family and friends and her fellow employees at Empire. She will be missed by many who knew her.
