May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Joy was a most suitable name for this wonderful lady! I never saw her without a smile or heard a sharp word! She was a " joy "to know. Sincere condolences to the family. Marilyn Lovegrove
