Happy Birthday in heaven dear Joy. I still miss you so much.

Shay created a Bootsie's 1st annual awards. You won every single vote for most missed! I am so unsurprised. Sassy and I tied for sassiest. Sassy was also nicest. Lori and THB- best soap fan. JG- funniest. Ninja- most likely to make you spit out your drink! Shay- best yarn spinner. And there were several more categories. I think you have your category locked down for eternity. love ya always

Hi Joy. I'm sorry I haven't talk to you in so long. I still think of you and miss you much. We lost another board buddy yesterday, it's JivinChick. But you probably already know. I'm sure you greeted her at the door, you and Mr Snide. I'll try to stop by more often to talk to you. We all still miss you very much Joy. Love, Cara

Donated to ASPCA in your honor tonight. Still hating the sad commercials on Y &R and now they are on GH. Love us, mary

Merry Christmas, Mom. We had ham today and I thought of you. Always that damn ham! I think about you every day. Watch over us, okay? xox Justine

It's my birthday today, Mom. Missing you every second and thinking of you today.

Hi Mom, Lily turns 1 next week. I know you were looking forward to throwing her a party. You told me you wanted to cook Hawaiian food for it. I wish you were here. Love you and miss you every day.

It's been almost a month since I've written here. I guess I'm accepting that you are really gone. But that doesn't mean that I've forgotten you....because I haven't. Love, Cara

Happy Birthday Joy.

Happy birthday, Mom. I'll love you every minute of every day until I'm with you again. xoxo Justine

UGH! Must go back to school tomorrow morning. A week of teacher workdays to ease us in at least! Meetings times 8. I have a new new art teacher with me and his name is Kyle. Ironic. love ya!

Hi girlie! We found Shay. She was camping. You know we freak when someone goes missing! Missing you as always! Love, chickie

Hi Joy! Got my granddoggies with me for several days.Sarah's condo is replacing pipes so they need to be out. Ollie is fine with Kobe but not so much with Sydney. No fights so far. I hope our little Ashley is okay.

Oh Joy! Thank you for the hug after I posted my BIL story. I needed that hug! Have a glass of wine with mr. snide and SIL snide. love you all!

It's two months dear Joy, I'm going to see my Mom in Ozone Park on Saturday. I wish I knew where you are...I'd bring you flowers. I miss you so much. Love, Cara

Hi girlie! Just stopping by to say Cheers! I miss you as does all your Bootsies! We mention you often. love, snidechickie

Howdy Hippie! Had dinner with my girlies tonight. I mentioned you but teared up of course. My DirectTv is back on so yay! We can watch our soaps together again. No spoilers please!

Was scrolling through the threads and you were the last to post on one of them. It made me happy and sad to see you avatar!! You taught me what one is!!! Haha since we are so uncomputer-y! love, snide

I watched Cara's rescue clip and cried but I am a crybaby as you know. I donated a modest $25 in your honor to the rescue league. Take care of the little one that did not make it. sniff love sniff again snidey

Hi Joy, I saw a video today that made me think of you. It was about a 3 chi rescue. I posted it on Booted, but it seems people were afraid to watch thinking it was sad. It wasn't. Anyway I tried to post it here but couldn't figure out how. Imagine that! I still remember trying to show you around the computer but you were afraid you'd break it. I have so many good memories of you girlie and I'm still missing you everyday. Love, Cara

Hi Hippie, my tribute jewelry piece turned out pretty well. It is a water lily for our little Lily. It was very hard working with silver but worth it. Miss you more than all the silver on earth! love, snidey

Dearest Joy, I'm so glad that your lovely Justine mentioned Ashley. I was wondering how she was but was afraid to ask. Still missing you like crazy! I love you too. Love, Cara *Thank you Justine* XOXO

Dear Mom, Saw Bernadette on the View today talking about Broadway Barks, which is this weekend. Thought of you, and how excited you would always be every single year. I cried at my desk, but that's nothing new. Hugging Ashley hard tonight for you, Mom. xoxo Justine

Hey girlie, I am dedicating my final jewelry piece to Lily in your honor. It is a water lily piece. Miss you millions! love, snide

I've been watching your beautiful grandbaby Lily on youtube. She's so special and so cute! I hope that you know just how much I miss you and think of you, each and every day. Love, Cara

It is so wonderful to come on here and see the messages from all of you. My sister and I really appreciate everyone's continued thoughts of my mom. We are both doing alright. Lily is crawling now and trying to take a couple of steps. Every time she does something new it breaks my heart that mom isn't here to see it. I will come on every so often to give some updates to you all. Thank you for your love for my mom. -Raven

Still thinking of and missing you HippieJoy. Justine and Raven, I'm praying that the two of you are holding up. I'm sending you both special thoughts attached with love and hugs! Love, Cara

Hi Hippie! Cheers! I am toasting to you and mr. snide. I hope you guys have an open bar!

Hi my HippieJoy. I haven't forgotten about you. I've been in medical prison the last few days. I had a blood clot in my leg and was on high doses of blood thinners for a while. Now I'm on a low dose for life. Oh poop, this means weekly blood tests for me. Miss you sweetie, always! love, Cara

Howdy Joy, miss you so much. I miss your pics of Lily and Ashley. I hope everyone is doing the best they can without you. Love, snide

Dear Friends, I wanted to thank you all for your kind thoughts and messages for my mom. She would be truly happy and amazed to know how much she was loved. It has been great for us to see all the kind thoughts from you all and how much she is missed. These past few weeks have been very hard, but luckily we are together and supporting each other. Mom's wish was to be cremated and for her ashes to be scattered in Hawaii. Our family is planning a trip back to Hawaii this Christmas to fulfill mom's last wish. -Thank you all, Raven

I miss you Hippie. You will never be far from my thoughts. --ninja

Thinking of you again tonight Joy. I miss you.

Hi Hippie! Have you met mr.snide yet? He is kinda shy at first but really hilarious in a non pompous unfull of himself way.He'll love your sense of humor! Cheers to you two!

Dear Raven & Justine- We are so sorry for the loss of your mom. We shared some wonderful moments together like our Thanksgiving dinners,eating chicken wings at the Beer Garden, sharing in the happiness of our children's marriage and, of course, our shared love of Lily. In closing, if we could speak to Joy, we would like to tell her "To a Free Bird, Fly High in Heaven". With much love, Kathy & Harry

Justine and Raven, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mother. I always enjoyed hearing stories of things she had done or said; im sorry that I never got a chance to meet her - she sounded like an amazing woman, a true Original. I hope you will take comfort in knowing how much she loved you and Lily, and that she knows you loved her in return. Love, Kat

I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. It saddens me to hear someone so loved has passed. But just as your mother's name defines the way she will be remembered by you, she will also want you to continue your lives in exactly that manner...full of JOY, full of life, always creating more memories. This is how we have our parents' legacies live on. Neither of you are alone.She's watching you from above...laughing with you, crying with you, still picking you up when you fall and embracing you. Your mother's love never simply goes away because a piece of her not only in lives within your hearts, but also your smiles, your movements and individual parts of you that make you...you. Please know your family is in my prayers. And peace be with you during your time of mourning.

Joy, You were an incredible woman and there will never be another like you! I can’t believe you’ll never tell me to shut up during a movie again or that I won’t get to eat your delicious meals. Or hear your passion about the latest soap opera drama or your amazing life stories. I had such a wonderful time growing up with you and I’ll never get over your loss, truly. You were always sincere and I always trusted your input and advice. You had such a natural ease and grace about you that I have always appreciated. I just hope you knew how much you were loved because I really loved the shit out of you. Thank you for raising the best daughters in the world and for treating me like one of your girls. I was honored to have the coolest, hippest, funniest –most real 2nd mother. I love you Joy.

Justine & Raven, I am so sorry that your mother is gone from you and this world. What I remember most about her is her devotion to the two of you. Justine, she created you for you to have a wonderful voice. I remember how stressed she was with Raven in the hospital for her scoliosis surgery. She moved you all closer to Raven's middle school, so Raven won't have to ride the bus. Her world revolved around you guys. My prayers and thoughts are with you. ~Heather

i use to post with this fun loving lady on the soap site. i always enjoyed her clever posts and back and forth responses to each other. i am in such shock. god bless her! she's with god now/ i will really miss her on the boards an so will all of us who enjoyed posting with her. she was funny, clever, and a please to chat with.- bootedfromsoapnet.webs.com-i.d.:catsasha :(

I will miss you.Rest in Peace.

Raven and Justine - so sorry about the loss of your Mom. I only met her a few times but she seemed like a very special person. I remember her joining me, Danny, and Harry in the cold on a few "cigar nights" and fitting right in with her wit and all the stories she had to tell from a life fully lived. It's sad that we won't be able to share any more family gatherings, but it is special that Lily got to spend so much time in her formative months with her grandma. Looking forward to seeing you guys on happier occasions - Boaz

Joy, you were so loved and are so missed! Your presence lit up all who knew you. I know you're resting in paradise. Lots of love to Raven and to Justine, who has been amazing to everyone during this time. Your selfless kindness will forever be appreciated. RIP sweet Joy!

Mom, I will miss you more than you could ever imagine. You taught me so much about being a woman and a mother. I don't know how I could have got through the first six months of Lily's life without you right there by my side. I am so grateful that Lily was able to spend so much time with you, even if it was only six months. It grieves me to know you will never see her grow up, but I promise you that I will keep your memory alive and tell her all the crazy stories about her grandma. I will miss your stories and sarcastic remarks. I will miss your passion and your delicious food. I will miss your intense love for animals. I will miss your love for Lily. I see parts of you in her every day. Thank you for taking care of me when I had my surgeries. Thank you for giving me away on my wedding day. Thank you for helping me give birth, and thank you for being a true original. There will never be anyone else like Joy Ciolfi. I love you!

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joy Ciolfi. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
