Dear Vinnie and Tracy, Im sending condolonces and love from afar. Joy always reminded me to look glamorous as I grow older and I will remember her fondly for he kookiness and the kindness she showed my brother and sister and I.

Sending you all love, she will be dearly missed by us all at family gatherings. X

On behalf of Lcc I offer my condolences to the extended Cunningham family on the passing of Joy RIP. I have many happy memories of times spent together in Lcc.

Our deepest sympathies to Tracy, Vinnie and all the extended Cunningham family on the very sad. We really liked your mum.

Vinnie,
Sincere condolances to you and your family on the passing of your mother. Joy was a lovely woman and along with your late dad John, an ever-present support to you and St. Marys over so many years. May she rest in peace.

Your mum made the exam hall in RCSI a less intimidating place. Always had an encouraging and reassuring smile for students. A true lady. May she rest in peace

Tracy and Vinnie, my sympathies on your mother's passing. As a school pal from long ago, i recall her as a vibrant, kind lady.

Our deepest sympathy to both of you, Tracey and Vinnie, and to all your families. Joy was my late sister, Ann's, lifelong friend. I think that they met initially in Sion Hill - it is over 70 years now since I first met Joy when she and Ann used to come down to Longford to visit my family. Our respect for Joy was, and will always be, boundless. My sister could not have had a more wonderful friend - she really was special. Her passing makes me feel so sad, which is ridiculous as I have nothing but happy memories of Joy. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

We were very sorry to hear of Joy's death. I enjoyed many lively chats with her in Castle. She was always such an elegant and engaging lady. May she Rest in Peace.

Very sorry to hear of Joy's passing; she was one in a million, so glamorous and witty and sophisticated. Our mum, Evelyn Gallagher, knew her for many decades, enjoying golf and opera and paintings together. I remember photos of the pair of them at the Hermitage in St Petersburg, bundled up in fur coats and hats, glowing with joy. She brought good energy to every occasion, all those dinners and dances with your late father John and our late father, Eamonn. May she rest easy.
