My wife Debbie and I have known Joy and Terry for many years. During that time we worked together, vacationed together, and shared the best and the most difficult moments of life with each other. With Joy there was always a celebration and she always was surrounded by a gang who loved her. In short, there are so many memories and monumental stories to tell but only one keeps returning and running through my mind.
About 20 years ago, Terry and Joy came to visit Deb and I in the mountains of North Carolina. It was late Fall or early Winter. Terry and I both hate cold, snow, and winter, but not Joy. It began to snow. Even though it was just a dusting, she was as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve. She was singing, dancing, and carrying on as only she could. Joy insisted that we all go outside to experience this "wonder of nature". There was more grass on the ground than snow, but she tried to make a snowman. To the best of my memory she actually built a small one.
This little story tells me all I will ever need to remember about Joy. It is about her contagious excitement and satisfaction with the littlest of things. It reminded me of how she always shared and involved people in her life. It demonstrates her will, passion, perseverence, motivation, love of life, and love of family and friends.
A bright light just went out and the world is a little darker. It is up to us to learn from Joy. If we apply what we learned from her and incorporate her virtues into our lives, maybe some of that lost light wil return.
Joy, you are loved and will be missed by all of us.
