I called her Auntie Jo (Esther Josephine). Really my great aunt because her sister was my mother's mother. I loved Auntie Jo because she always made me feel special when my family made the trip "home" to Rochester from Ohio. She was alive to the end; active, laughing, telling stories about her activies. We stayed in touch sharing cards and notes over the years. I'm glad I got to see her this past year. Keep 'em laughing in heaven, Aunt Jo! Love, MaryEllen (Ullrich) Hett
