Florence O'Neill wrote a sympathy message

“Barry and Linda: We were so saddened to hear that your mother had passed away. It is always difficult to lose a parent, no matter what the age, but knowing that she had such a long and happy life must help to ease the sorrow. She surely will be missed by her large family and circle of friends. With sympathy, Roger and Florence”

“To David and all of Joy's family; we are very sorry for your loss. We grieve but at the same time, we are so grateful to have shared a place on this old planet with Joy for over a century. The stories she could tell, indeed, the stories she did tell, based on her tons of wisdom, will long be remembered. Joy was a dedicated Leader of her large Saunders family, and played a big part in shaping that group of women & men into the hard working & highly skilled team now continuing her work. CA & Geo.”
