Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Joy was a wonderful happy person who made the best of everyday while she could. From playing baseball as teammates to watching our children play hockey against each other life was good. May your good memories be strong and may Joy rest in peace.

My sincere condolences Terry, your family and Linda (known for years,Woodbridge PS, etc) and your parents Linda. Joy sure had a lot to challenge her over the many years she suffered with her affliction. Glad to have met you two through the many cakes I decorated for your family. May your family be a strong and positive force at this difficult time and it will be good to get all the hugs coming your way at this time and in the days ahead–from people you will least expect it–(talking from experience).

Ellen Cottrell says
I remember this beautiful 18 year old playing hockey. I remember her smooth skating style. I became her team mate and had several years of fun on the ice.
From team mate to friend. I was honoured to be bridesmaid at her wedding.
Joy accepted her illness. She carried on with her life dispite it.
At my daughters wedding she was unable to dance so she and my father-in -law held hands and swayed to the music.
She enjoyed watching her boys play hockey and with the help of her dear husband was able to watch many.
She would be so proud of her beautiful daughter,handsome sons and grandchildren.
May Joy finally find peace.
Love Ellen

My condolences to Terry, Kailey,Kodey and Mackenzie.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Joy’s family and friends. My memories go back to our public and high school days where Joy was a reckon to be dealt with on the sports field! Her competitive and good natured soul was also appreciated and respected on the volleyball court. And, I will always remember Joy, thankfully, joining me on our family trip to South Carolina while in high school. A truly “Joy-full” experience! (What happens in Myrtle Beach…stays in Myrtle Beach!)
Having volunteered with the MS Society for many years I pray that a cure will be found soon! Rest in Peace and Joy my old friend!
Kathi Cuddy says
I am remembering a happy Joy at a Ladies Day at the Mansfield Ski Club. The photo has been on my refrigerator ever since. I looked at it this morning and saw her smiling face. We had such fun that day and Joy, despite her illness, managed to get up and down the hill a few times(with some help from her friends) and had many laughs in the process. That is the Joy that I will remember. The Cuddy Family sends our condolences to all of you.
