Lee and Mr. Clarke, I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Jo Anne except the few times we met at church, however, she was always very nice to talk with. I know Shaun thought a lot of her. No words can express how very sorry I am for your loss. Just know she is now pain free and smiling down on both of you. My prayers are with both of you.
