So sorry for your loss. Hold on to the good memories. I remember Jo being the playground monitor when I was in grade school. Had no idea back then that she’d end up sort of related. Love to your whole family.

Ed and Toni – So sorry to hear about your Mom. Know that you are in my prayers. Thinking of Jo Ann brought back many happy memories of the times Delores and I spent over the years with your Mom and Dad. —

Dear Ed and family,
So sorry for your loss. Praying God’s comfort, peace and strength for you all at this time.
I am heartbroken at the loss of my dear friend, Jo Anna. She was the best neighbor and friend to me. I saw her at Christmas time and she was talkative and cheerful.
Peace and love to you all.

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. We bought the house right next to Aunt Jo’s a few years ago and she always bought extra ice cream bars for our young son. Every morning when I would leave for work I would see her waving to me from the kitchen table, and when I would pull in the driveway she was always standing at the window knocking on it for me to come get an ice cream bar for Easton. We didn’t know Aunt Jo for very long but you could tell she was a great lady.
Sh will be missed
