    To all the Mason and Desjardine families, you have my most sincere and heartfelt sympathy. To me, Joy was a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother to our boys, and a true friend who I loved from the bottom of my heart. I admired her many talents, her heart of gold, her hard work ethics, her sense of humor, her love to laugh, and how much her family meant to her. Someone I will hold in my heart forever. She has left loved ones behind, but will now be surrounded by loved ones in Heaven in all their glory.

    Love and Hugs to you all,
    Kathy Martin
