As kids,Joy stayed with me in New Bedford, we’d visit the drugstore, view paperback mysteries, occasionally buy one, spend the night reading. As young adults, Joy rescued me from a sewing disaster. Attempting to shorten pants I cut off too much-Joy helped me sew cuffs to fix the problem. Meeting at family gatherings after years, it was always as if we’d never been apart.
