    Bob and family, I am so sorry at the loss of Joy. It seems unbelievable. We have such fond memories of sweet Joy. We always loved meeting with you both over the years and Joy was a wonderful person and so easy to talk with. Just so sad and we will be in touch and when we come to Indiana in the summer we will connect with you Bob. We have talked with Gail Duffy and she will be at the funeral and. she says she will help us make a gathering place this summer for all of us to meet. You are in our hearts and prayers. God be with you ..... and I am so sorry we are unable to come at this time and hope at some point to talk with you. This is all such a shock to us. God bless you Love Kathy and Dick Stadler
