Shipmate Tom and family: Met your beloved Joy a couple of days after you met her. Words cannot express my sorrow. Tom, you and Joy were the best memories, which I have carried in my mind and heart all of these years, if you wouldn't have been, this statement would not have been written. God bless all.
