Joy was truly that...a joy.  When it came time for senior prom (I hadn't been to one dance at BHS), I asked a boy from Paxton to go with me. My Aunt Margaret made my dress for me...it was AWFUL!  My family didn't have any money and Joy loaned me an 'outfit' for going out after the prom.  I will never forget it...little white pants (I think Joy and I both weighed less than 100 lbs.), a shirt and a little yellow dotted swiss hoodie.  Though I thanked her and cried at the time, I'm sure she didn't realize that I would NEVER forget the kindness and have that memory always!   I am so sorry that I didn't find her to become reaquainted before she went to her reward.  Sandy (Weber) Bumpus
