    Joey was a very dear friend as were all her family. We have known her and Marlyn since we were newly weds together working in Tanzania on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. She will be missed.

    Joey was welcoming, funny and just one of the loveliest people I have had the privilege of knowing. My love to Marlyn and their family who I know will carry forward her warmth, spirit and the stories that made her so special.

    Marlyn — Li Bo and I are deeply sorry to hear of Joey’s passing today. We only met her one time at your home, but always remember the generous offerings of soybeans you gifted us. We were new NFU members then and were so touched by the gesture of trust and friendship. We think of you and your family often, and keep memory of Joey’s kindness even in brief passing. Sending our condolences to you and everyone in your family.
