Joy had such a lively personality, wide beautiful smile, twinkle in her eyes and a wonderful singing voice!  I have such great memories of Joy all the way back to Youree Drive Junior High, laughing, singing and just cutting up!  One Christmas we discovered that the two of us could sing Elvis' "Blue Christmas" -- I was Elvis (of course) and she was the high pitched wooooo-oooooo background.  We would sing in the hallways over and over and continued that for years!!  I am saddened she is gone at such a young age.  I know she is leading that heavenly chorus now.

Joy introduced me to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (lol!)!  I have vivid memories of listening and dancing to those illicit songs at Joy's house - we were pretty naughty!  She was such a fun friend and will be missed tremendously.

Me too, Lisa--I learned all about Prince at Joy's house. She was fun and a good friend.

Joy and I went to Washington together on a Close-up trip in high school.  She was my friend, my roommate on the trip, and a joy to be around.  I have often thought of her over the years with fond rememberances.  Her father was one of my teachers, too.

I am still thinking of you, Joy!!!
