Our hearts go out to the family. Joy will not be forgotten. A lovely lady in every way. I will always have fond memories of her, being with her and the Cook family at family gatherings. A truly special person, always caring, always asking how have you been, always giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I will miss her, but knowing that she is at peace, is her gift to all . Love to all the family.
