We recently found out that longtime blog community member Joyce Nicodemus, also known as JoyN, passed away on April 29, 2011. JoyN has been a part of the community here since the early AOL days. While we knew that she had health struggles, I think we all just figured she was taking some time off before the start of the Big Brother season.
We will all miss her contributions here in the comments on the blog -- she really loved her television shows and was never timid in her opinions! Friendly to all, welcoming to new folks aboard ... that was JoyN.
My deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and friends.
My morning feeds report will be a bit late today, please check back.

So saddened to hear about JoyN Jackie. She was so supportive of me when I was sick and I feel sad that I wasn't aware of her illness. She was fun to banter with here and always commented how she couldn't wait for BB to start.

I join the others in sharing my sadness over the loss of Joyce. She was a good addition to this mix of people and certainly added her own thoughts on a regular basis.
My sympathies are with her family, who we know she loved, and her friends who must be missing her presence in their lives.
She's one of our angels now ...
Such sad news. JoyN's comments were always fun to read. My sympathies go out to her family and loved ones.
I was shocked and saddened to hear about Joyce's passing. I always enjoyed her comments. My prayers go out to her family. Rest in peace Joyce. You will be missed.
What a wonderful tribute! I too will miss JoyN's sassy comments.

The place just won't be the same without JoyN. My heart goes out to the ones she left behind. I hope she's finally found peace.
I am so sorry to hear about JoyN. Though I have not been here as long as others on this blog I always liked responding to her comments. When I typed her name I would always say 'join', as her comments always inspired me to join the conversation, not just on BB, but the Bachelor/Bachelorette and others. I will miss her spunk.

I'm so sad to be seeing this. I always loved Joyn's take on our favorite shows. RIP Joyn - you are loved and missed. Peace to her family.
This was sad news. I had no idea she was even sick. She will be missed.
Indeed sad news, as already demonstrated by people asking about her whereabouts in previous blogs, her presence and comments were and will continue to be missed.
Condolences to her family.
Such a shock to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She will definitely be missed.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. I have always enjoyed reading her comments. May she rest in peace and I will be praying for God's healing for her family.

It was a shock to hear of the passing of JoyN. I always enjoyed her comments and felt we were all like a family on here, so it is with my deepest sympathy I send condolences to her family and other blog freinds from Jackies Place.
Hi Everyone,
I am still very sad, after knowing about this for a week now. It's an issue that's unique to this community. We all get to know each other and come to care -- even if we root for different teams or have differences of opinions. And then suddenly, we don't hear from someone who is a regular, but have little recourse to follow up.
I was glad to learn that her passing was swift and peaceful, with her husband by her side.
Jackie, what you've created here is special, and one that I know gave JoyN a lot. And she gave us a lot too. I will miss her comments, and will miss her.
