I loved joy and I am glad she can now join her husband and family. I am hoping it won't be too long before I will be with her. Sending sympathy to her family.

From: Lee Hart Kimber
Joy was special to me and I am glad that she is able to enjoy being with her family again. Not being able to do the things that we like is very hard. My sympathy goes to each of the family members. Would have loved to be at the funeral and greet and express my love for each of you.

From: Tennille
You were an amazing person, you taught me so much. I never wanted to leave your side. My heart is broken without you here, but I know you are finally at peace and with grandpa. I am blessed to have had you in my life. Love you and miss you grandma.

From: Martha Hunter Matthews
Robert and Brent and family, I am sorry this is late but for some reason, I didn't know that Joy had died. I last saw your mother a few months back when she was in the Burley hospital. I have kept my eye out for her throughout the years as she was such a kind thoughtful woman in my life from my early beginnings as a child. Your family was close to mine. My brother Earl and sister Alice, all think highly of your parents. Joy took me to Primary often and I love her for that. She was kind to me. I have missed seeing her in the museum as well. I miss your mom and dad but look forward to seeing them again. They were good people on this earth and their goodness continues on.
