There are no words that can adequately express how this news made me feel. Joy and I were close buddies for almost 40 years, dating back to our days at Brazosview School, in Freeport, Texas. We were both teachers. Through the years, with our spouses, we became really good friends, such that we could pick up on conversations with weeks or months in between, as if it were yesterday. Joy's work was immense. Her tenacity for her passion of helping kids with special needs was unmatched. Her love for family and friends was unquestionable. I am both sad and thankful; sad for lossing a friend such as Joy, and thankful for the nearly 40 years of friendship. Rest in Pease my dear, dear friend.
