We have so many fond memories of Joy, Chris, Kay and Muffet when we were neighbors in Paradise Park. We had some great times together. Those were truly the good ole days when neighbors were neighborly and always ready to lend a helping hand. We remember Savannah as one of our favorite places to live and the Roddenberrys as some of our favorite friends. Our love and prayers go out to Kay and Betty and their families as I know how much they will miss her. She was such a vibrant person. Fondly, The Kenneys Joe, Pat, Melanie, Val & Gordon

Kay, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I have many fond memories of hanging out with you and your family in Paradise Park when we were kids! Your mom was always so sweet to me when I was a boy. I send my love to you and your family. Bo

Dear Family Of Joy Roddenberry, I just happened to see your mothers name in the obituaries yesterday morning. I have not seen your mother in 18 years, but I will never forget your mom coming to my aerobics classes at the YMCA on Habersham Street with Marilyn Hernandez. We had a bunch of great times and laughs as we would work out together. We would work out with the weight machines and we would make faces and sweat together. She was a blessing. I felt compelled to let you know that I really enjoyed your mom. I know that the good memories will always keep you smiling. Peace to you and your family. Brenda Woods
