I remember Joy as a teacher at the polytech in the 1980s. She was the best teacher I ever had. Taught us typing. I remember her smile and she was so kind and caring. We met up a few times since then and she actually remembered me as well. Will never forget her.

My sincere sympathies over the loss of Joy, she was a strong and determined lady. I loved caring for her when I was a practice nurse. I am sure she will be missed but her legacy will live on through the family.

To Brian, Nicky, Mike, Mark and Families - So sorry to hear about Joy. I always loved her calling into work to drop off stuff for you guys and then us two would talk about her teaching me back in 1986 at Polytech. Thinking of you all
