MY deepest sympathy to all the family. I worked with Joy at Illinois Bell for the time she was there. I always enjoyed her jokes she would send through e-mail and pictures on facebook. I will really miss her sense of humor and hardy laugh.

Joy and I were friends at the phone company. I remember her great sense of humor and how much fun we had at her wedding. One of the things I valued about her was her open honesty. I always knew where I stood with her and what she thought about something. I hope to see her in heaven some day.
