			<description><![CDATA[ HeavyPetting, I haven&#39;t been here much for awhile, and just saw that Mr. Joy passed away.  I&#39;m so sorry.   I&#39;m so glad that you found each other. 
Thank you for giving him a wonderful life, and thank you to Mr. Joy&#39;s spirit for giving so much to so many people and being a real treasure, just by being
himself.

			<description><![CDATA[ Oh, that makes me so sad to hear! I just LOVED Mr. Joy and told many people about him. He was fortunate to have you to care for him for as many years as you
did. I know he will be missed by you, your dh and your other chickens but, also, all of us at BYC who were always cheered by his antics. I think my favorite
memory was when he was in your wedding! <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif"> ]]></description>
